It's an awful feeling! That's why I use two alarm clocks now. It may sound excessive, but it really works and I haven't overslept since. The odds that you'll set two alarms incorrectly on the same night are extremely low. One alarm is kept near my bed, and I allow myself to snooze that one. The second one is kept farther away. I set it for later, to the latest time I can possibly get up and still get where I need to be. I’ve done this myself several times in the past. It’s an awful feeling!
