It's most likely to me that many more people have overslept because they forgot to wind their clock than have overslept because their iPhone hit a weird bug where the alarm sound didn't play. Simply because mechanical clocks have been around much longer.
- SoftTalker 3y agoAlso at a certain time in my teenage years I could sleep through a ringing alarm clock with absolutely no awareness of it. The spring for the bell-ringing mechanism would unwind after maybe 30 seconds or so, and the ringing would stop, and I'd sleep completely through it. Not sure the powered alarms would have done any better, but maybe after 10 minutes of ringing it might have woken me up.
