The alarm clock didn't ring this morning

My alarm clock didn't ring this morning and I end running to be on time at work.

As everyone is at home today, the clock surely thought that it could sleep more too.

Well, because of this I didn't bring my morning snack to work, I bought something here to eat, a coffee and corn crackers with dark chocolate. I am still wondering why it didn't work as everything was okay when I checked it. Has this ever happened to you? Picture of my morning snack

Yes, it did. So what I did I wake ahead of my alarm clock to check if it's working. Sounds ridiculous!

It is really stressful when this happens as we have to run to be on time.

Do you have it on the right AM/PM setting? I did that once and found out it was on the wrong time of day.

@nela13 When one gets up late or does not hear their alarm clock their schedule gets thrown off.

Yes, it is awful because we get stressed and we don't have time to get ready on time.

It happened to me once years ago. I must have shut off the alarm clock in my sleep. Since then, I put it at the furthest part of my night table, so I have to get out of bed to turn it off. It ruined my day rushing to work.

My husband does that way too, I have no problems during the all year as he wakes up earlier than I and then he wakes me up but yesterday he was at home and I was the only one who needed the alarm clock.

no because I don't use an alarm clock, I use my body inner clock. My cat is my alarm clock now.

Our body inner clock is the best alarm but it is sweet being awaked by a cat

There have been times when I've set my alarm and meant to set if for A.M. and accidentally set it for P.M. This morning, both my missus and I were awake before our alarm went off thanks to Ace, our mini-schnauzer.

I hate it too but unfortunately, I need it especially during winter as during summer it is easier for me to wake up early.

This used to happen to me occasionally. Sometimes I think we just slept through the alarm.
