Alarm clock location: close to you or out of reach?

[Triple_Se7en]

I use two.
First one is within reach.
Second one goes off 10 minutes later on a dresser that's 10 feet away.

Seldom do I need the 2nd one. I most-always dismiss it, as I walk to the bathroom..

I always use my iPad as an alarm, it's across my room. 5:10am is the first alarm and then 5:30am is when I get up. I like that 20 minutes to get back into bed and be warm and comfortable and fall back asleep.

Alarm set for 4:20am, right next to my head. Most days, two beeps and it is off and I am running (literally). When I get back home, make coffee, bring a cup to my bride, read the Good Word, then off to shower and start my day.

I also did have an alarm ,but being military I usually had to be at work by 5:00 AM and from about age 40 I had prostate issues and I always had to get up 5-6 times a night anyway so really did not need an alarm. Finally Diagnosed with sleep apnea by VA after I retired and now maybe get up once or twice. Get a lot more rest for sure. It was not fun waking up every hour that's for sure.

Have a small battery clock next the bed, don't use except to see what time it is, also like the tick tick tick when it's running helps me fall asleep fast,
