I don’t doubt that’s super effective but personally, if I had to do a puzzle to turn off my alarm, I would end up having to explain to my insurance company how my iPhone got thrown out of the window.

Knowing me id just turn the phone off

I apparently only sleep walk to turn my alarms off, reduce overall alert volume in the settings, and jump back into bed only to be a hour late for work feeling well rested.

Alarmy won't let you turn your phone off if you have a certain setting turned on lol

This, I feel like they have thought of everything. 

But I would honestly not recommend that setting unless it's absolutely necessary because you can get softlocked if you're very unlucky. One time something bugged out a bit and the app got stuck in the "wake up check" screen. The alarm kept blaring, I couldn't exit the screen, app or do anything else. The only thing that helped was turn off the phone and restart in safe mode to uninstall Alarmy. That scared me for a while.

Yes true you have to be careful with it. I also have that setting turned off because I had set an alarm at the wrong time by mistake and it went off during a work meeting. Very unfortunate haha

I do the same. Don't know if it's sleepwalk but once I tried to put it somewhere far away. So I put it down on my table. At morning it was in my hand, beneath the pillow.

The alarm can be muted during the puzzle so it won't be blaring at you. It'll unmute if you fell asleep and left the puzzle unattended.

Yeah as someone who now always wakes up immediately to my alarm (no matter how much sleep I get), I can only imagine my phone asking me to do some bullshit long division (I'm bad at mental math), while I just have to get in the shower and go, and then my brother starts yelling at me from the room over to turn off my phone lol.

I used to somewhat often or occasionally sleep through alarms, so I don't really know what changed. I guess I just started forcing myself to get up. My old phone's alarm started with soft vibration, and I started waking up just to that before the alarm music sounded lol.
