The new iPhone update is shutting off some people's alarms and making them late to work

This iPhone bug happened to those who decided to use Apple's ability to update to iOS 9.1 while they slept. Overnight updates are a relatively new feature that has only been available since iOS 9.0. It seems so convenient. You make sure your iPhone is connected to its charger, click a button, go to sleep, and wake up with the new version of iOS installed.
Except in this case, the update seems to have shut off people's alarms, and caused them to oversleep. Some of these cranky people took to Twitter to vent their frustrations.
All of our iPhones alarms failed to wake up our household. Did anyone's iPhone alarm go off this morning?

PSA: updating your iPhone overnight will delete your current alarm settings. Making your new alarm your boss calling asking where you are ??

Did the iPhone update. Alarm didn't go off. Got ready & packed in 12 minutes for meeting. Fell and ate it running to the train. #morning

If you haven't updated to iOS 9.1 yet, it's probably a good idea to do it while you're awake.
