Then the player starts waking up at 3 in the morning because that's when the timer resets.
This is a common technique for manufacturing commitment: if a person must suffer for a thing, they come to justify to themselves that the thing is worth the suffering, and become more dedicated the more they do. Cults often use this technique.

I just didn't want to let my online friends down. It's a powerful motivation. Eventually, the investment became too great and I realized I was being penalized for not spending money on the game.
