sweet spot six

When I set my alarm at night the ending digit has to be 6. always. (5:16, 5:36, :5:56) If I end it in a normal number, I consider it a jinx and I will surely sleep through it.

  When I set alarms, the last digit has to be the same as the last digit of the time it is when I am setting the alarm. So if I need to get up at 06:00 and the time when I’m setting the alarm is 22:47, I set the alarm for 05:57.

  I often wake up before my alarm or after it on the 47s… when I was in high school I often woke up at 7:47 I have no special love of airplanes but it was definitely odd.

  haha for me it’s opposite—even if my alarm goes off at an odd time—i wont get out of bed or start a project or assignment or anything until it’s either :15, :30, :45 or :00…

  ive done it so when i set my alarm and hit snooze twice (my old clock used to have a 9 minute snooze button) i would wake up EXACTLY at the time i wanted to… If i needed to be up at 7:30 i would set the clock to 7:12… it sounds crazier when you actually type it.
