I still have a basic alarm clock with a battery for back-up. Back when I was in the Army and oversleeping carried somewhat harsher consequences, I also had a mechanical wind-up clock as a backup.
I would absolutely never trust a software-controlled device as complex as a smartphone to wake me up in the morning. If I'm traveling on business, I'll set the room alarm clock and also request a wake up call from the front desk.
