ALARMS ARE SCAMS AT NIGHT ⏰

I honestly don't believe alarms do work at night, the only time my alarm does work for me is during the day but when i am laying lifeless on my bed nothing seems to be working offline apart from those happening in the dream world.
Every night i do set up an alarm for myself hoping to wake by 2:00am and study since that is the best time i could study the thermodynamics course and fix it into my skull as a partial serious student that i was but i always wake up by 6:30 or most cases 9:15am.
Its really bad how my alarms don't even bother me at night when i needed it the most. I do not want to admit any allegations of me not being able to hear while sleeping at night because i believe my ears are working perfectly.
One evening i asked my friend before sleeping that she should give me a phone call by exactly 1:30am in the morning so i could revise and prepare for an examination because i knew she's always awake by that time of the day yeah i mean, she's nocturnal and more over a serious student more than i was.
Well, she agreed to help me and i slept peacefully an consciously waiting for her call to strike my phone by 1:30am.
I waited for her call all through the night while asleep but her call didn't come in or maybe she forgot the agreement we had. I picked up my phone and i saw 19 missed calls from her that came in by exactly 1 to 2am in the morning but as at the time of me seeing the missed call notifications, it was already 8:30am, how did that happen?? I slept and missed
my night alarm again. This is getting out of hands.
What better way could this be resolved? I asked myself, then the idea came to me that probably my phone wasn't loud enough i needed something that would sound better maybe an explosion or a gun shot very close to my head while sleeping. That should be a perfect alarm and if i don't wake up immediately then be rest assured that i'm gone.
I got a bluetooth speaker, and always paired it to my phone device before sleeping and in the morning my neighbors keep complaining that i do play loud music at night while sleeping which always disturbs their night.
So the alarm rang again this time and i was still lifeless on bed while my neighbors woke up because of the alarm i kept, incredible!
I have come to conclude that alarms do not work until i am able to wake up at midnight prior to an alarm i set on my phone, other than that, alarms remain a mystery to me at night.
(Worry less, just one hilarious story of my life and night alarms 😅).
