Hah, I thought I was the only person who did this! It fixes three problems at once - no chance of the AM/PM error (alarm set for 7PM when there's a meeting at 8AM - whoops), no chance of turning it off and falling back asleep, and no need to screw around with snooze if I decide I need 10 more before getting up.
I'd never heard of anyone else doing this... I wonder if this is more common than I thought?
- smiler 16y agoI do this - I set 5 different alarms, each spaced 2-3 mins apart. If I'm going to bed and need to get up after only 3-4 hours sleep, I will do the same, but also set one 10 mins later, 20 mins later
- tptacek 16y agoMine are set roughy at "wake up", "kids should be downstairs", "kids should be eating", "daughter needs to be bundled for school". I'm not really conscious until 8:30 or so.
- allwein 16y agoHa! I do the same thing. Mine are "wake up", "stop messing around online and eat breakfast", "stop messing around online and get dressed", "stop messing around online and go to work". All spaced about 30 minutes apart.
