It was the night before, I had set my alarm for the next day knowing that I had to get up early. I climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep. In the middle of the night I could hear a beeping noise, I ignored it at first thinking that I was either dreaming or that the noise was coming from somewhere else, but the noise just kept going so I eventually decided to wake up and find out where the noise was coming from.

It was coming from my alarm clock, but how could that be? I thought to myself, I know I set my clock for the time. Why was it going off now? It wasn’t supposed to go to off now. I decided to try turning off the alarm and turning it back on to see if that worked. I went back to sleep and again I woke up to the sound of my alarm, what is going on here? I thought to myself. Again I turned it off and turned it back on. I went back to sleep and again it went off, so I decided to check to make sure I had set it for the right time, turns out that I had multiple alarms set without knowing it and they were all set for late night and early morning.
