I learned from this that I’m a freak for having just the one alarm set, for the time I need to actually get up
I have 1 time where my alarm goes off, but I use 2 physical alarm clocks: My phone and an old 90s digital alarm clock. The phone is mostly just as a backup in case of a power outage or something.
When there’s something really important (rare) I actually do that too, but a clock radio is the backup and the phone the main one.
This post has taught me two things:
- I’m lucky that I only need one alarm and sometimes a snooze.
- I wish I fell asleep earlier because my first thought was that you wouldn’t get enough sleep now.
Yeah, I was stalling at the end of the day but I made it through. Late start tomorrow. Friday gon be rough.
Veering slightly off topic, but does anybody know if there’s an alarm clock app that rings at set earlier times to the final alarm?
For example, I want to wake up at 8:00am, and so I set one single alarm for 8:00am, along with “earlier times” of 30 minutes, 15 minutes, and 5 minutes. The alarm will then ring at 7:30am, 7:45am, 7:55am, then 8:00am.
I’m basically sick of having 4 alarms for every separate thing I have to wake up for.
Isn’t that something you solve with snooze? Like put the alarm for the earlier time, set the snooze time to 15min and hit snooze until you want to wake up?
I find I will sometimes stop the alarm instead of snoozing it while half-asleep. I need the alarm to ring again for these cases, even if rare.
I do that and it works great.
Assuming you’re on Android, this app has a pre-alarm function.

I don’t have an answer for you, but per internet protocol will still respond.
Have you tried on of the apps that wakes you up depending on where you are in your sleep cycle? It really has been a game changer.
Other than that, I just used snooze like the other comments mentioned, but if you know you’re gonna turn off the alarm instead of snoozing, I get wanting multiple alarms.

Syn-Ack?
Meant more Cunninghams law/XY problem than TCP, but thank you for the laugh.
Only two alarms would cause me anxiety, need at least 5 to make sure I wake up 🥲
In two apps, maybe two different phones too, for redundancy.
There was at least one more in there but thats my buffer where I’ll probably be late but close enough.
Both of these have a five minute snooze (by default), so that’s actially 5 alarms. OP said they had actually set three of these, so that makes 7 alarms.
That happened to me this morning. Lousy bladder.
It’s very surreal seeing a screen cap that could have been taken from your phone, but definitely wasn’t.
Especially with the VPN icon on there.
Tailscale to pihole ftw though!
Ah a fellow 4h30 early bird!
Bonjour (is that right?).
Bonjour, yes it is. It’s 11am now so still way before the “Bonsoir” time which don’t really have an official time (it’s when it’s dark and we don’t have a good afternoon equivalent).
Why are there only two?
The rest are hidden. Don’t fret, it would surely take more then two alarms to wake me.
Did that today, wondering if it’s due to daylight savings
For me there what a lot of unusual noise outside my house. I particularly remember waking up once and yelling out to my wife, “is everything ok?” After hearing/dreaming of a very loud clattering. I expect to go outside and see a bulldozer ran through the neighborhood or something. But it was probably just coming from the valley I sit at the top of.
Waking up from hearing a loud noise could be that you hallucinated the noise. Check out exploding head syndrome (coolest name ever)
Quite possible. Have been having issues with my ears lately. Fuck, forgot to take some allergy meds.
It me, now.
