This alarm jumps off your table and rolls away, so the only way to turn it off is to chase it around and catch it. :)
Okay, so I am pretty sure you are just me writing from the past, because I have had the exact same problem... BUT luckily for you, I have determined a series of solutions!
1.) The Alarmy app
is one that requires you to get up and take a picture of something in your house/apartment in order to disable the alarm. It is super helpful to me but it does have the tendency to be a bit buggy sometimes (and not got off), so be forewarned...
2.) I have a Clocky alarm as well and it is also pretty effective. It is one of those alarms that rolls off your nightstand and hides. And it certainly does make the most God-awful, absolutely un-ignorable sound in the world, so there's no danger of sleeping through that.
So that's my collection of knowledge at the moment. Hopefully it helps!
Set your alarm/phone to full volume and set it all across your room on the other side (or at least a good distance away) so you can still hear it but you have to get up to turn it off.
If that doesn't work, you could go for one of these things: https://www.amazon.com/Clocky-Alarm-Clock-Wheels-Aqua/dp/B000TAS9XQ
"The syllabus doesn't allow for makeups for that reason. I have to follow that rule because it's department policy. Moreover, this has been a long term problem and we already had a discussion where I told you that missing class would affect your grade." Optional: Suggest this.
Clocky. It has wheels. When the alarm goes off, it sounds like a bunch of random beeping.
If you hit the snooze button, the next time it goes off, it will not only make a bunch of noise, but roll off your nightstand and go all over the room room until it gets stuck somewhere, still making noise.
Clocky is pretty popular, too.
Get one of these. Maybe actually having to focus on finding the alarm clock to cut it off will help wake you up. I just got one, and haven't had a chance to use it yet.
They make rolling alarm clocks.
I got one of these for free. Bastard rolled under my bed once.
They have an alarm clock that "runs" away from you when it goes off.
This rolling alarm clock helped me for a while.

Have you seen this ? It’s crazy but it works!
Clocky, the Original Runaway Alarm Clock on Wheels: Get Out of Bed and Wake Up on Time with Programmable Snooze | Jumps Off Night Stand and Rolls Away (Extra Loud for Heavy Sleepers), Aqua https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TAS9XQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_gVaTBbKS4KRCX

There is a snooze button, but if you press it, the alarm continues and it takes off.
I got you covered

Get this bad boy. It makes waking up fun.... or a nightmare.
That's what I meant, yes. The idea behind a commitment device is that you are actually two selves, the planner and the doer. The planner may have high hopes, but the doer's the one who has to execute the plan. The problem is that the planner has no good way to enforce the plans, s/he just hopes that the doer will execute because there is a plan. (Seinfeld actually had a great description of this!)
Enter the commitment device. It's the way that the planner ensures his plan is followed through on. The commitment device removes options from the doer so that the doer is much more likely to execute the plan. If you put the groceries budget on a prepaid card that can't be spent anywhere else, you ensure that it can't be flexed out. That is, the planner knows that the doer will be tempted to flex the grocery budget to use for lunches. So the planner sets up a situation where the doer can't flex it. One fun example is Clocky, the clock that runs away from you when it goes off. The planner sets the alarm, and when it goes off, the doer has 3 choices: let the alarm ring, get up, or hit the snooze button. Knowing that the doer will be tempted to hit the snooze button, the planner removes the snooze option by purchasing Clocky. Now the doer must choose between getting up or letting the alarm clock ring while driving around the bedroom. (In the past, I solved this a slightly different way. I had a thing of caffeinated water next to my bed, and I'd drink that, then hit the snooze button. I normally didn't get to hear the second alarm because either the caffeine woke me up or nature calling would.)

This is precisely why I got a [ clocky ] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000TAS9XQ/) for Christmas from a coworker.
This what I think someone else was referring to. It runs around. I always wanted one, but never have trouble walking up.
Here's a demo video of Clocky.
More over, I use a sleep tracker. It walked me up when I should naturally wake-up easier. Not sure which phone you use, but both Android and Apple have apps that work well. Related Lifehacker review of sleep trackers.

Well, i have one of these which takes quite the pounding.
You need to get one of these:

Yeah... You're not getting around that.
You need a Clocky!

i set 2 alarms. my phone goes off and i always hit snooze. like you i sometimes do it in my sleep. 9 minutes later it goes off again. if i hit snooze again, then a minute later, my alarm clock goes off. its really loud and i have to get up to turn it off. it really helps to have to get up to turn off the alarm because you definitely have to wake up. you could put the alarm clock all the way across the room and just crank up the volume.
you could even get something like this - an alarm clock on wheels. you'd have to chase it across the house. :) http://www.amazon.com/Clocky-Alarm-Clock-Wheels-Kitchen/dp/B000TAS9XQ
also, some people actually sleep in their workout clothes to help them get moving.
good luck, getting up so early is really hard.
Maybe this guy can help. Also make sure your diet is well and you're drinking enough water. Are you getting enough sleep? Too much sleep? You could also see a sleep specialist to check for things like apnea which will decrease the hours of sleep you get per night, making it difficult to wake up.
Try Clocky... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000TAS9XQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_QdyBDbV47S569

I've destroyed (unintentionally) more than 10 alarm clocks throughout HS to college.
A coworker gave me a clock with wheels on it, it was a gag gift but it worked:

It does one thing well, it makes sure you stay awake!
I would personally recommend just going to bed early. Making a set bed time will help your body establish a sleep schedule.
perhaps this app is what you need.
or one of these guys
Link please?

I’m sorry this happened. It’s a too frequent occurrence with me too.
I’m getting better at this, but before it got so bad that I accidentally trained my girlfriend to silence alarms while sleeping. Just because I would set so many and never wake up, she would turn them off for me but it got to the point where she wouldn’t wake up to them anymore, knowing I would just turn them off and go back to sleep. And choose sleep over chores i needed to do around the house. (I work evenings so I don’t have this problem)
Here’s some things that helped me the last few months
If that doesn’t work...
If that doesn’t work...
Ask a friend to call or text you until you get up. Make sure if it’s a text, you call them once your up so they know you are conscious.
If that doesn’t work...
Our minds are trained in a funny way. If you ever realize your mind going into auto pilot while driving a familiar route and not remembering part of the drive (how many red lights you could have driven through). Or even just how time goes by faster every year. Our minds reduce the interpreting work load if it is familiar with it. That being said, this can also happen with alarms. Setting the same alarm noise at the same time every day, your brain anticipates it, going into autopilot, it’ll turn the alarm off without even properly waking you up.
-set different alarm tones. Choose ones that really annoy you/don’t care about.
-set alarms at different times everyday
-when you go to set an alarm. Set it to around the time you want but don’t actually look at the last number, so your brain doesn’t subconsciously know when the alarm is going off.
There are alarms (kinda expensive) (Clocky Alarm Clock on Wheels in Aqua https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B000TAS9XQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Y2XdAbQNR9V79) that make you get up to turn the alarm off.
Ok! So!
With all these tips - the BEST thing you can do if any of these work, is to make sure you get into the habit of waking up to them. If it works for 4 days, change it up, make a goal for the next 4, then change it etc until your brain will no longer just silence alarms as it did before.
there will still be days where you sleep through the alarms. But it won’t be nearly as many
I hope this helps ❤️
And that you didn’t get fired over this.
I'm going to get this soon.. Maybe it will bring out the inner treasure hunter in you.
