Preferably out of arm’s reach so that if you set it, you have to get up to turn it off.
That sounds like a great plan to make one go and just ignore the alarm and keep sleeping.
When I was younger and had my alarm clock in easy reach, I'd just keep hitting the snooze button and going back to sleep, sometimes for an hour or more. Except when I'd miss and hit the off button, instead. Sometimes I'd do that without even waking up enough to remember having shut it off.
I had the same problem. I intentionally put the alarm clock as far away from the bed as possible.
One time that still didn't work: I somehow got up from the bed, walked two metres, accidentally turned the alarm off instead of just snoozing and happily went back to bed again. I woke up at seven hours later just as the school had ended.
The funniest part was that my parents had to provide the reason for my absence to the school. From what I recall, it just said:
Length: 1 day, Reason: overslept
It was up there with:
Length: 1 day, Reason: fake school holiday
(Somebody has obtained the principal's password and posted on the school website that the school would be shut down Monday because of a burst pipe)
