When setting an alarm with wakeup music and then stopping music and logging before regular alarm starts, the alarm is still active in alarmqueue. It just gets deleted when closing SleepAnalyser.

Example: Alarm time 9.00, frame 30 min, music duration 5 min. Music gets triggered at 8.40, would run til 8.45 and then alarm would go off. Entry in alarmqueue is now set to 8.45 (easily visible via nextalarm widget). Now stopping music and logging at 8.43, but not closing SleepAnalyser! I.e. app shows either statistics or start window. This stops music but doesn't clear the alarm from alarmqueue. When closing the app the alarm gets deleted.

Is that behaviour by design? Or do you accidentally clear alarmqueue only when closing app? In my opinion it should be done when logging stops and I guess it is done correctly when stopping logging before music starts.

I think most of the time this has no effect on user but thinking about a quite long running wakeup music (some ten minutes for example) the alarm could get triggered when user is already up and away from phone.

You are right, this behaviour is on purpose!
On one hand is a safety, in case SleepAnalyser goes mad (which should not happen any more with the latest version).
On the other hand I thought its useful in case somebody acknowledges the alarm and then continues sleeping.

The mentioned (2nd) alarm will come at the set time, as you figured out. How ever it has nothing to do with the wake up music. It will get removed when you close SleepAnalyser. As you at that time still could be in bed, I thought its ok to keep the alarm active. At least for me, I always close SleepAnalyser when I get up, as I at the same time anyway quickly check my emails and calendar.

I was thinking about that myself. But then decided that that would be dangerous. One could stop the music and then continue sleeping. (You might not even realise doing it as you might still be partially asleep). The nasty sound keeps me reminded of having to get up. Usually I try to get up before the alarm goes off
