not exactly what he meant i think.

If you are missing “everybody is (/went) asleep” card, then just use multiple cards in the AND column  
[IF] Someone went to sleep  
[AND] “specific user `1` is asleep”  
[AND] “specific user `2` is asleep”,  
[THEN] “turn on alarm”

and of course more if you have more people in your homey  
But feel free to request an [feature request](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8j_GfID4adV4w5ogNtIX1-AqVWrkgIo3bOjkoNtqlHMM0xw/viewform?usp=send_form) to Athom for this card.

Although it is not the question inreed, I would recommend to use a Virtual Device / button and / or a Scene activation via a switch / dimmer.

At least that’s how I implemented this and it works flowlessly.

- I may activate a Virtual Device or via press-twice-a-dimmer a scene activation \>
- Start the sleep flow, which
  - starts a flow turning-off all lights
  - starts a flow switching off all media devices
  - sets the alarm modus \> which triggers the alarm flow to start

- IMHO the advantage of using a VD / scene is the fact you’re completely in control when things are started
