Try this app called MyMath Alarm where you can turn off your alarm only after answering some math problems. You can set it up to the # of problems to solve and it has a section where you can plan out your routine. It lets you customize what sounds will ring in combinations or if you want it to say something like "Wake Up" when the alarm goes off.
