The painful noise of an iPhone alarm is a running joke online, with an array of tweets and memes describing it as traumatic.
One Twitter user recently wrote: “The iPhone alarm truly is traumatic.”
Another said: “iPhone alarm so traumatizing for no reason.”
Another person tweeted: “I hate hearing the iPhone alarm sound. It makes me irrationally angry.”
All those Twitter users and the many more distressed iPhone fans need to try using iPhone’s ‘Sleep’ alarm.
The iPhone Sleep feature is supposed to help you wind down for sleep and wake you up gently.
