Alarm turns off and ruins everything

Hi! - I need advice.


This morning I set my typical alarms as I do, one every hour from 6 in the morning to 14 in the afternoon (because I have insomnia and tend to sleep through my alarms). I also tend to turn off the alarms by myself as I sleep, but had finally found a way to NOT do that - so now I could finally use the alarms and get up at a good time, right?


Wrong.


It woke me up at 6. I turned it off and went back to sleep.

It woke me up at 7. I turned it off and went back to sleep.


Then... Nothing.


I woke up at 14:35 in the afternoon my myself. Looked at the phone - and none of the alarms have gone off, simply because I missed to turn off one of them (probably the one at 8).


This really sucks, since I can't count on my phone to wake me up anymore. I read now that the alarms turn themselves off after 15 minutes - which sucks, but fine I could work with that. But I can't, since one silence alarm is constantly ticking - silent - and makes the next alarms impossible to ring. So if I miss one alarm, I'm screwed.


Can I fix this? If so, how? This has ruined my whole day and several days before for me now.
