The way I make my phone work for me is I put it on a hollow surface like a table or shelf further away from me for the night. I'll have to get out of the bed to turn it off, and the surface makes the vibrations sound louder too in case the ringtone isn't enough. No clue about alarm clocks sorry :'>

this is very insightful so please don't apologise!! the more i can save and the more reasons i have not to spend any more money the better. lmao thank you sm for taking the time to answer!
