I have tried several different ways, and I will try the alarm again since you've suggested it - thank you by the way - but I often get laser focused in such a way that I don't hear my partner speaking when he's beside me on the couch.
That's fair. You could try one of those classic bell-based alarm clocks, that shit will jolt even the most concentrated of people
I tried an air raid siren one and it helped a bit.
But maybe like an actual alarm clock not just an alarm on my phone.... Hmmm thanks !
Yeah there's something about phone speakers that just never does the job for me. I dunno, the alarm sounds just lack...presence. I use a bell-based alarm clock to wake me up and when that thing goes off, you're getting the fuck up no matter how deep a sleep you're in. Phone alarms? I've slept through too many to count.
Obviously your use case is different, I'm just thinking if it can snap out a deep sleeper like me, it might help break your hyperfocus too.
