How to use the online alarm clock
An alarm set for Monday is the one that ends a weekend. It targets the next Monday from wherever you are in the week — set it on Friday evening and it waits three days, set it late on Sunday and it waits a matter of hours.
Mondays carry a specific load in Britain: the return to work and school, the weekly team call that nobody schedules any later, and in a great many council areas the bin or recycling collection that has to go out the night before or first thing. New gym intentions and diets start here too, more often than they finish here.
The preset sets the alarm for Monday at the time you are choosing it, so a Sunday evening setting produces a wake-up for the following morning at the same clock time.
Common questions
What happens if I set this on a Monday?
It targets the following Monday rather than the day you are already in, so the alarm is a full week ahead.
