Now my body’s so used to his damn alarms he ignores I’m awake at z6 am daily while he sleeps
You have to talk with your husband about these things.

My wife used to do the same with ignoring alarms, playing videos etc. It's much better since we talked.

Don't make it confrontational, just start by saying that we need to talk about alarms and videos and take it from there.
