Can I tell you about our good lord and savior; snooze?
there is a risk of pressing "stop" instead of snooze or not hearing the alarm at all, I'm with OP on this one, I tend to go 2 or 3 depending on how tired I am, but never 1 xD
I need to scan a QR code to completely dismiss mine
This one?

Just wanted to add that sleep as android has a lot of options for dismissing your alarm including scanning an NFC tag or solving math problems of various complexities. Additionally it has extra controls you can enable so restarting your phone doesn't bypass the alarm. A wide variety of Monday wake up torture is available.
The problem is (at least on android by default) the difference between turning off a timer (losing your job and your wife and becoming homeless) or hitting snooze is literally swiping to the left or to the right. While you are basically still asleep. That is literally the dumbest fucking horse shit UX every created and that's why multiple timers are needed so you can either snooze or turn the alarm off and still get a second chance for not becoming homeless.
I have an old school alarm clock. I've had it for over 20 years now and my wife hates it. But it's still fully functional.
I never snooze so I have the muscle memory for turning off the alarm. So what'll happen is I'll just turn my alarm off and go back to sleep. Sometimes I don't even remember doing it.
snooze.. snooze.. snooze.. snooze... snooze...
alarm clock gives in. shuts it down until tomorrow.
but my flip phone, i have to open and push the correct button to shut off an alarm. that's enough to wake me up enough to piss me off. so i guess it 'works'.
