How do I set my alarm to NOT play through Bluetooth headphones

I sometimes fall asleep while listening to music/podcast but my headphones don’t always make it back into their case. The new iOS now ONLY plays alarms through the Bluetooth connected headphones. How do I restore so that the phone speaker plays the alarm, instead of only through the headphones?

iPhone 12, iOS 14

Hello Jeff, I’m afraid you misunderstood my question. After upgrading to the latest iOS, the alarm now ONLY plays through my Beats headphones. So if I fall asleep and my headphones are still connected via Bluetooth, the alarm ONLY will play on the headphones and I do not hear it (because the headphones have fallen out of my ear during the night, etc).


So my question is how do I get my alarm to play via the phone’s speaker, and not only through the connected headphones.
