Alarm not ringing on iPhone with Apple Watch connected

I have an Apple Watch Series 8 (WatchOS 10.5).

When I wear the watch during sleep, all Alarms ring on the Watch only, but not on my iPhone (iOS 17.4.1).

I want the Alarm to ring on the iPhone. I don't mind if it also rings on the watch - but it needs to be at least on my iPhone.

I already disabled My Watch -> Clock -> Push Alerts from iPhone, but this didn't change a thing.

Since I use the Watch to track my sleep, I don't want to switch off overall sleep monitoring and I also want to wear the watch overnight.

Is there any solution to this?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

What happens for me is setting a loose alarm om the iPhone, not syncing it with my sleep focus. Therefore the alarm rings on the watch and the iPhone

Yeah I tried that also just now and this actually works. And here "My Watch -> Clock -> Push Alerts from iPhone" makes an actual difference (the loose alarm will not go off on the Watch if this is disabled).

It's still not the best solution, because these loose alarms don't have increasing volume (so they blast directly in your ear when you're still asleep), but it's better than nothing.
