Temporally orienting phone alarm
Know what day it is
  (+1, -2)

I often wake up not knowing what day it is (or what time it is or who I am). I also tend to nod off again after killing the alarm.

I would like to have to enter a code to turn off my phone alarm - this would require me to engage my brain before I could kill the alarm thus reducing the chances of nod-off.

As a further fail-safe, the code should be today's date. This would mean that my phone would require me to prove that I know what day it is before leaving me alone.

       I have this very same problem. The doctors here call it narcolepsy. This wouldn't work for me, though. I would just fall back to sleep despite the alarm. Hell, I slept through three alarms today.

       btw, is the title deliberate?

       I'm normally a stickler for not americanising words, but 'orienting' just sounded better than 'orientating' in the title.
