Alarm Clock Challenge: Awaken

Awaken is an anti-snooze alarm clock for heavy sleepers and chronic snoozers. No snooze button: it keeps ringing until you get out of bed and finish a wake-up challenge.

Stop snoozing. Start waking up.

A normal alarm stops when you tap the screen. Awaken is the alarm that won't let you snooze. You can't turn it off from under the covers, and there is no "5 more minutes." You stand up, move, and prove you are awake.

WHO IS AWAKEN FOR
• Heavy sleepers and deep sleepers who sleep through a normal alarm
• Chronic snoozers who hit snooze for an hour
• Anyone who oversleeps and ends up late for work, school or classes
• Students with early lectures and exams
• Early-shift workers
• Anyone building a morning routine that actually starts on time

13 WAKE-UP CHALLENGES
Awaken is an alarm clock challenge app with 13 missions in three groups.

Get out of bed: photo, barcode and mission alarms
• Sky Photo. Photograph real sky from a window or outside. A ceiling does not count.
• Grass Photo. Go outside and photograph real grass.
• Barcode Scan. Walk to a barcode you registered, like your toothpaste or coffee, and scan it.
• Photo Mission. Re-photograph the spot you set the night before. You can't match it from bed.

Move: workout alarms
• Squats. The camera counts your squats until the goal is reached.
• Jumping Jacks. Camera-checked. No faking it from the pillow.
• Dance. Stay in frame and keep moving, or the alarm keeps going.
• Shake Phone. Shake until the bar fills.
• Tap the Screen. Tap the screen a set number of times. Stop short and it keeps ringing.

Think: math and puzzle alarms
• Math Problems. Solve them before you can bargain with yourself.
• Memory Game. Match the pairs. An unfinished game keeps ringing.
• Typing Challenge. Type a sentence accurately. Sleepy typos don't pass.
• Trace Path. Follow the path with your finger to the end.

STACK THEM. RANDOMIZE THEM.
Use one challenge or stack several, like squats plus math. The ringing stops only when every challenge is finished. Random mode picks the challenge for you, so you can't memorize an easy way out. Photo Mission and Barcode Scan join Random once you set them up.

WAKE-UP CHECK: NO FALLING BACK ASLEEP
5 minutes after you turn off the alarm, Awaken sends a notification. Open it and a 60-second timer asks if you're up. Don't confirm in time and the alarm rings again.

SET UP YOUR MORNINGS
• Time, repeat days, sound, label and a custom look for every alarm.
• Organize alarms into week, weekday and weekend groups, or create your own.
• See sunrise and sunset times on the home screen.
• Plus a dedicated Stats tab.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
What's the best alarm for heavy sleepers?
One you can't dismiss half-asleep. Awaken is a loud alarm with no snooze button. It keeps ringing until you complete a wake-up challenge, like photographing the sky or doing squats on camera.

Can I turn off Awaken without getting out of bed?
Not if you pick a get-out-of-bed challenge. Sky Photo, Grass Photo, Barcode Scan and Photo Mission all need you on your feet, and there is no snooze.

Which challenges wake you up best?
Movement and photo challenges, because they get you standing and walking. Pair one with Math Problems or the Memory Game to wake up your brain too.

Can Awaken help me stop oversleeping?
That's what it's built for. When getting up is the only way to stop the ringing, snoozing stops being an option.
