I strongly believe that in the same way you should have at least 2 alarm clocks, one of which is of a different type. I strongly believe that you should use your phone and a dedicated alarm clock. Apple has released bugs that caused the alarm clock not to run, or do so at a wrong time. Likewise it is always possible for your normal alarm clock to lose power or run out of battery.
Having both failures on the same day is a lot less likely.
- anarazel 2y agoIt's been only four days since a phone alarm would have let me sleep through giving a talk. Android rebooted, somehow got stuck in a reboot loop (I think), discharging faster than the crappy charger charged. Luckily jetlag worked in my favor for once...

And a redundant mode of transport to work, a backup fridge on a redundant power source. I draw the line after spare coffee grinding and brewing facilities.
- miki123211 2y agoYou don't need software bugs, if your power goes out at just the right time and the phone doesn't have enough charge to last you through the night, there goes your precious alarm. Same if you e.g. don't fully push the charging plug in. Ask me how I know.
- bpye 2y agoI do set a second alarm if I'm waking up for something particularly important - say a flight, but for a regular work day? I think one is good enough.
