stupid things you do setting up an alarm clock

When it's after midnight and well into the new day, you know there's not much time left for your precious sleep - and you have to set an alarm up. The problem is when you're trying to do this, usually you're almost asleep. Yesterday, I left my earplugs plugged-in in my laptop. I was lucky enough to have slept for 6 hours before I barely heard them tweet - I wouldn't wake up if I was too sleepy.

Sometimes I just make a typo when configuring an at(1) job. Sometimes I'm off by a few hours, especially when my fingers are dreaming already. More often than not - I forget to turn the volume up a bit, after I turn it off or very quiet working in the night. Whatever.
