And I don’t want to switch it off, because I don’t want to fall asleep. I can’t switch it off, as my nfc tag is in the kitchen. Furthermore, I like to stay in bed when the ringtone/music plays, even if I’m already awake… With the maximum volume, that’s not possible, cause my phone gets annoyingly loud and the speaker starts to Crack. There would still be a long time where I don’t wake up. I don’t want to increase the time period.

What I used to do with another app is to have it slowly raise, for a gentle progressive waking up, up to a level at which music is agreable, low enough to not disturb my neibourgh, but high enough I cannot fall asleep. ![]() The only option I have is to spread the increase over a longer period of time (eg. When using that option, the volume setting of the alarm is completely ignored. First it becomes annoying (which is not a nice way to wake up).Īnd second, at that point, fear of waking my neighbourgh arrises and I either stop the alarm (risking falling back to sleep) or postpone the alarm (and falling back to sleep, again and again, spreading my wake up over an hour or so).
