Question on how best to set cup Watch

I am helping someone try to set up notifications on an Apple Watch the way they want. While I am well-versed on everything else Apple (iPad/iPhone/Mac, services, etc.) I don't have a watch - but from what I have read and knowing other devices I don't think what this person wants to do is possible. But I thought I would ask.

if the person wears the watch when they sleep, they’d like it to:
1. vibrate for text or calls from certain people (say in a Favorites list?)
2. Vibrate for alarms,
3. For everyone else, phone calls, texts and emails are silent until the morning

The person does have an iPhone (I think some things for the watch might be done through the iPhone).

So is this combination of #1-#3 possible, if so how, if now how close can I get to achieving it?

Thanks for your help!
 
Not sure about #2. I believe 1&3 can be achieved by setting DND to allow calls from favorites. If your friend has a set time for when the alarm goes off, they can schedule the DND to turn off before the alarm time.

edit: according to article below, alarm will still vibrate even with DND on.
