Ever set your phone to Do Not Disturb and worried, “Will my alarm go off on DND?” You’re not alone. Many think DND silences everything—but that’s not quite true. Most smartphones, including iPhones and Androids, let alarms override DND so you never oversleep important moments. Still, check your device’s settings, because custom modes or third-party alarm apps might behave differently. Knowing how DND interacts with alarms ensures peace of mind and a good night’s sleep—no unwanted notifications, just your alarm right on time.
