How to use the online alarm clock
Wednesday sits at the centre of the working week, close enough to both ends to feel like a turning point. Schools often put sport into the afternoon, half-day closing survives in a handful of market towns, and midweek football has occupied Wednesday evenings for as long as the fixture list has existed.
For anyone with a recurring midweek commitment — a delivery slot, a standing meeting, a shift that always falls here — an alarm attached to the day itself is more reliable than remembering to set one each time.
The preset targets the next Wednesday and rings at the same time of day you chose it. Setting it on a Wednesday hands you the following week rather than the day you are already in.
Common questions
Which time of day does the Wednesday alarm use?
The time at which you set it, so choosing it at seven in the morning gives a seven o'clock alarm on Wednesday.
