by time. Yes.....by time. I came home from work a couple of weeks ago and the power had been off. You know how it is....all the digital clocks are blinking. Believe me, it's a pain in the butt to reset the clock and alarm by my bed. You need to know that I would sleep until 10 or 11AM without an alarm. Not good when you have to work. I totally rely on my alarm to get me up in the morning. The next morning....no alarm. But I have a back-up across the room and that alarm went off.......also a pain in the butt because I have to get out of bed every 7 minutes when the snooze alarm goes off. Oh, yes, I need time to wake up, too. Usually takes at least 30 minutes. So that evening I checked the alarm and everything seemed fine. Again the next day it didn't go off. Crazy.....good thing for the back-up and that's what I've been using. Well, once in awhile, I would come home from work in the evening and the alarm would be quite loud. It's terrible for my neighbors because I have my bedroom window open.....it's OK. I'm on the 2nd floor and who would want to come into my place anyway. And it was ringing again tonight when I came home. I have checked and rechecked the alarm.....yes it was set for AM. You see, there's a little light by the letters PM and it wasn't on. I had just reconciled myself to buying a new alarm (I go through alarms quite often). I had a brilliant idea. I checked the clock and alarm for about the 5th time and I had set the clock to AM when I reset it the first time. So the alarm was going off in the evening. I felt like slapping myself up the side of my head. Two weeks! It took me 2 weeks to figure this out. I can always say it's the fibro or my age. But this felt just plain stupid.
