what does this mean?

Does this mean that I woke up to the sound of the alarm, or that I woke up before the alarm went off?

The alarm went off as I woke up.

Thank you

The only thing I would infer is that I woke up naturally at the same time as the alarm sounded.

Hello Alphecca,

Could something like this work?

Could I use simultameously somehow?
I woke up and the alarm went off simultaneously.

Thanks a lot

It doesn't work for me.

What are you trying to say?

I really didn't need the alarm this morning. I woke up just as the alarm sounded.
I really didn't need the alarm this morning. I had gotten up and taken a shower before the alarm went off.
I needed the alarm this morning. The alarm woke me up. If it hadn't been for the alarm, I would have overslept.
