Set alarms not going off

I wear an iwatch in addition to carrying an iphone. I have set 4 alarms to go off daily in a 24 hour period. For some reason there is no sound. I can feel the haptic vibrations on my watch but that doesn’t really help if I am asleep or engaged in something else. What is going wrong here?

iPhone 13 mini

Apple Watch heptics Hello! Alarms are everything to me, but lately, my Apple Watch 7 is no longer vibrating. Things I’ve tried: Is it on silent?

I use the alarms daily for meeting reminders, wake up times, etc. Is it connected to the phone? Yes, but even the alarms set through the Watch aren’t buzzing. Latest software? Yes

Alarm is no longer working on Apple Watch, but on iPhone instead I have an Apple Watch Series 8, and an iPhone 16 Pro. Both are up to date with the current iOS. I have had my alarm set on my Apple Watch so it only vibrates for the past couple of years, and it has been working fine. I keep things set to silent because my wife doesn't get up as early as I do. So the watch ONLY vibrates. I keep my phone on my nightstand (also set to silent) BUT the alarm does not vibrate or flash the light - it's only that the screen lights up with the option to turn off the alarm, but I do this on my watch instead. A few days ago the alarm no longer vibrates on my watch, but instead the flashlight blinks brightly on the iPhone - which has never happened before. Obviously my wife wakes up when this happens, so I want to go back to only the watch vibrating. I can't figure out which setting must have changed, and YouTube wasn't much help. So I really don't know if the setting changed on my watch or my phone. Any suggestions on what to look for? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Regular alarm rings on iPhone but sleep alarm only on watch I have my iPhone and Apple Watch on silent and when I set regular alarms on the phone it rings and my watch vibrates. But sleep schedule alarms don't behave the same way. They just ring or vibrate on the watch only. Regular alarms should do the same. Am I missing something?
