What do you suggest in situations where you can’t do that? Last summer, I travelled on a sleeper train from Lisbon to Madrid, which are in different time zones. At the time that I set my alarm, my phone had no way of knowing that it would automatically jump an hour ahead in the middle of the night.
In that specific case, it woke me up according to local time, which is what I expected. But what if I had crossed the time zone boundary less than an hour before I wanted to be woken up?
- Dylan16807 8y agoFor the question of crossing a time zone boundary while using local time, I'd say the answer is obviously to go off the moment local time passes the alarm time. Going the other way is a more fun problem, but a few hours of debouncing is fine for anyone moving at suborbital speeds.
- bshipp 8y agoIf I'm going from my personal experience when travelling across timezones, I generally set my phone to the local time, check it about 5 times, call the front desk and request a wake-up call, and set the bedside alarm. All three have failed me at one time or another and I'm a little paranoid about sleeping through meetings!
