Your Definitive Guide to Setting Alarm Clocks

"When should I set my alarm clock for tomorrow morning?", I know is a question that must cause you a great deal of anxiety every night before you go to bed. Well, in order to give you a better night's sleep and inner calm, I have decided that it is about time that my guide to setting alarm clocks was made available to the whole world and not just a precious few close friends. It is my gift to the world and I hope that it is grateful.

Anyway, here goes: it is my firm belief that it is unlucky to set your alarm clock for any time that ends with the number 0, 2, 4, 5, 6 or 8; also it is unlucky if you set it for a time when the two of the smaller three digits in the time either adds or multiplies to make the larger of the three; plus, if the minutes are a multiple of the hour, that is unlucky too; finally, it is unlucky to set your alarm clock for any time of day after 10AM. NB it is not unlucky to wake up at any of these times, just to set your alarm clock for any of these times.

I will now illustrate what I mean about unlucky times:

7:10, 7:12, 7:14, 7:15, 7:16 and 7:18 are all unlucky because they end in the numbers 0, 2, 4, 5, 6 or 8.

7:43 is unlucky because 4+3=7.

6:23 is unlucky because 2x3=6.

7:21 is unlucky because 7x3=21.

10:27 is unlucky because it is after 10AM.

Therefore, the only times I would recommend setting your alarm clock for between 6AM and 10AM are:

6:01 6:03 6:07 6:09 6:11 6:13 6:19 6:21 6:27 6:29

6:31 6:37 6:41 6:43 6:47 6:49 6:53 6:57 6:59 7:01

7:03 7:05 7:09 7:11 7:13 7:19 7:23 7:27 7:31 7:33

7:37 7:39 7:41 7:47 7:51 7:53 7:57 7:59 8:01 8:03

8:07 8:09 8:11 8:13 8:21 8:23 8:27 8:29 8:31 8:33

8:37 8:39 8:41 8:43 8:47 8:49 8:51 8:57 8:59 9:01

9:03 9:07 9:11 9:13 9:17 9:21 9:23 9:29 9:31 9:37

9:39 9:41 9:43 9:47 9:49 9:51 9:53 9:57 9:59

Sweet dreams!
