How many alarms do you set?

[River Fenwick]

You can use multiple devices to set alarms to wake up, from a physical alarm clock to an app on your phone, and you may even opt to choose various of these. Some may say that alarm schedules can tell a lot about a person. So, how many do you set, what frequency do you set them, and on how many devices?

Personally, I set four alarms, one on a physical alarm clock and the other three on my phone, set to 5 minutes apart from the previous one. I often turn off the alarm clock and fall back asleep, hence the abundance of phone alarms since I never want to be late.

I only use one alarm on my phone but I will hit the snooze button on it the three times my phone lets me haha. My phone's alarm does allow for different time intervals for the snooze. Like I can have five, ten, or fifteen minutes between each time the alarm sounds after I snooze it.

I set two alarms every time. If I wanna get up around 7:45am I’d set a 7:43am and 7:44am alarm. That way if one accidentally wasn’t set to the correct AM/PM (or just doesn’t seem to go off, both of which have happened to me more than once) I don’t run the risk of having to stress about it. But normally I wake up before my alarm, so it’s moot, haha.

I use my phone and so what I do is I set up two alarms - one to wake up when I want to still have some time to do some stupid things on my phone before I get up and the second one to let me know that I really need to wake up now (if I went back to sleep).
