Does your Iphone need to be near you in order for Apple watch Alarm to go off and vibrate while wearing at night. My watch is not waking me for some reason. Thanks

Hi 7MJHov,
Start by checking the settings in the Apple Watch app to make sure "Push Alerts from iPhone" is enabled for the Clock app. When this is on, Apple Watch will alert you of Timers and Alarms you've set on your iPhone. You can find the setting by going to the Apple Watch app > Notifications > Clock.
If the setting was already turned on, restart your Apple Watch and paired iPhone. Although simple, this step can help correct some unexpected issues.
If the issue continues, is it possible that your iPhone is unlocked? If so, keep in mind that if your iPhone is unlocked, you get notifications on your iPhone instead of your Apple Watch. This applies to alarms as well. There's more information here: Notifications on your Apple Watch
If you need more help, reach out to Apple Support directly so they can look into this with you further. They can be contacted here: Get Support or by calling the most applicable phone number from this list: Contact Apple for support and service.
Regards.
