I tried 7 ways to get my son out of bed. Only one actually worked.
Look. A teenager who sleeps straight through five separate alarms isn't being difficult just for fun. He needs something stronger than plain sound.
Let me save you the mornings I wasted.
I set five alarms, five minutes apart. I bought the loudest clock I could find. I put his phone across the room. I took his phone at night. I moved his bedtime earlier. I tried letting him face the consequences. And most mornings, I just went up there myself.
None of it worked. He slept through all of it. And I turned into the alarm clock.
The sound was waking me. Not him.
His alarm filled the whole house. It woke me. It woke his sister. It never woke him.
And he is not being lazy. Puberty pushes the body clock later.* So he is in his deepest sleep at exactly the hour I need him up.
A buzz on his wrist does not fill a room. It only reaches the person wearing it.
He wakes himself. You get your mornings back.

He got up. The first time.
"He will just sleep through a buzz."
That was my first thought too. He sleeps through everything. But it does not buzz once and give up. It keeps growing, through three levels, until he moves.

Five alarms. The loudest clock I could buy. His phone across the room. All of it was the same signal, only louder. One buzz on his wrist did what none of it could.
