Revision history [back]

After some months of using my Jolla as alarm clock, my index finger has learnt very well to turn off the alarm without me looking at the display, even when I am still half asleep. I think it is just too easy: as soon as the hand has located the phone, it is just a tiny drag to turn it off, anywhere on the display. This can bear two problems

• turning off alarm before really awake and falling asleep again
• phone not oriented as expected, thus turning off alarm when actually wanting to snooze it

I am not someone who needs to do a math calculation to wake up, but I would prefer if it was a bit harder. E.g. having to look at the user interface (and thus the current time) to operate the alarm controls. E.g. Sony's horizontal slider has always worked fine for me.
