Alarm no longer rings on phone, only vibrates on Apple watch

I got an Apple watch recently and it has taken over the notifications.

My phone no longer vibrates or rings for notifications like messages or phone calls. It also doesn't ring or vibrate for my morning alarm. It only rang and vibrated on my watch. I turned off nightstand mode because I read that might help, and now it only vibrates on my watch.

I need my notifications and especially my alarm to come through my phone.

Notifications go to either your Apple Watch or iPhone, but not both. If your iPhone is unlocked, you'll get notifications on your iPhone, instead of your Apple Watch. If your iPhone is locked or asleep, you'll get notifications on your Apple Watch, unless your Apple Watch is locked with your passcode. For more info on notifications, see:

I'm not sure but I believe the same type of protocol is going on for alarms also. Although they last item in the 'Get help with alarms' section in:

How to set and manage alarms on your iPhone - Apple Support

implies that isn't so. If you still need help, contact Apple Support.
