On Alarms, Setting

Setting an alarm is a two-step process. First, set the alarm time. Second, turn the damned thing on.

Performing the first step while omitting the second may lead to you waking two hours after you wanted to.

The alarm clock is tricky, but master it and you need never be late for work again.

Technology is a nitpicky mistress.

You could do what we do, which is obsessively check the damned thing (steps one and two) at least four times an evening before retiring to bed.
