>you can have the button in another room.
>battery powered so i can't unplug the alarm

If you can unplug the clock, you'll learn to ignore the alarm. The noise will just seem like something in your dream.

What worked for me was 2 clocks that have a different alarm noise.
I set one to ring 30 minutes early and the other on time.
I put the early clock on my dresser across the room and the other on my nightstand.
The early clock just barely broke my deep sleep, the other, because of the different sound woke me up.
Then I had to walk across a cold floor (no rug) to turn off the clock on the dresser.

You can easily add more clocks.

Sorry for confusing ramble, English is my third language.

This. Just wire the speaker to a bookshelf spkr next to your bed. Should take 5 min. You probably don't even need to solder it.

Hate to tell you, but it's not about tricking yourself or finding the "right" alarm clock. It's about willpower and/or getting more sleep.

t. another heavy sleeper, probably older than you are

Hmmm so pic related is the alarm clock I have, it’s loud as fuck. Works gud and vibrates your pillow. I knocked the switch off and it makes it difficult to turn it off which is better for me.

Anyway I think other anons saying to wire the speaker from far away would be the best option. Or the clock I have, use the vibrating thing but extend the cable. You could probably keep it on the other side of the room because it’s so loud and it would still shake the pillow and make you get up to turn it off.

This is partially true, but it also helps to change the alarms from time to time. I got so used to the iPhone alarms that they don’t do shit for me anymore.

Also sometimes you get caught up with bullshit at night and can only get 3hrs in bed.

You ever see those alarms in a vibrating ball, you have to chase around the room, or I used to have one with a key, and the key gets shot across the room and bounces around. I also had one that wouldn't turn off until you solved a math problem, that one was smashed to pieces.

I'm fortunate enough now I can bassically wake up when I feel like it

Nah u good. I was going to come here and say the same. Thank god cell phones got 5 alarms

Kek. I'd give anything to just not work.

My wife had one you had to use a fake gun and shoot untill i had a real gun pointed at it and realised just how dumb it all was.

Plus i don't know if anyone here's heard a gun go off in a closed room but you don't forget it

There are alarm clock apps that only stop beeping after you scan a pre chosen barcode. I used my deodorant bar code that I neatly stuck to the lower corner of my bathroom mirror.

BOOM!

"5 more minutes...."

since no one else has answered your specific question....a simple latch and button connected in-line with the speaker will do what you want. when you press the button, the latch latches open, thus making the speak open circuit and quiet. you could use a 74 series quad latch for this, or any microcontroller (like arduino) if you wish

to add to this...if you dont mind a switch, just wire a switch in line with the speaker. switch is on = speaker is making noise...switch is off = no sound

I've used those. It was working like a charm for about a week, forcing me to get out of bed to stop the stupidly loud ringing. The problem is, i'm a lazy fuck and one morning I found out you can bypass the "disable phone turn off while phone ringing" feature, by quickly pressing phone turn off before it disappears. After I found that out it was game over and the app's no longer useful for me. All apps I've come across it is way too easy to bypass the disable phone turn off, which for me makes the app useless.

If you're a heavy sleeper, having a different button to turn the alarm off isn't going to help you.

There are several such clocks on the market:
