15 alarms, but 13 of them are set for times between 4 am and 9:30 am.
In the winter when it gets dark at 4:30 PM, Iām ready for bed by 7PM (though I try to stay up until 9-10).
I can understand that.
For me, life as ājust wimseyā doesnāt start until about 9:00pm. With the exception of midday jiu jitsu, everything else before then is wimsey-as-dad, wimsey-as-spouse, wimsey-as-lawyer, wimsey-as-dogwalker, wimsey-as-house-repairer/cleaner-upper, and so on.
Late evening is when I get to be unfiltered me. Iād have a hard time giving it up.

What time do you go to bed/wake up?
My duties as dad/husband/dog walker start at 630am. In the evening, kids go down around 8, I try to be in bed shortly afterwards. By then, I donāt want to do anything or talk to anyone. If I work out at that time, Iāll have a very hard time falling asleep.
So, if I want to exercise or just have an uninterrupted cup of tea, Iām getting up before 5 to make that happen.

My phone shows 2 alarms, both off. I think one was set last week to remind me for a flight.
I may end up being retired, time will tell.
That makes sense. Iām ājust clmā 24/7. Work can take that or not, and theyāve taken it for coming up on 36 years -

Normal wake up is 7:05 weekdays. I wake up naturally then, and if I donāt, wimsey jr wanders in around then anyway
Weekends we sometimes let wimsey jr watch some cartoons on the iPad first thing, so i might get to sleep til 7:45, 8:00 at the outside
I try to be in bed by midnight, with mixed success. Anything after 1:00am and Iām āup lateā
Just counted and I have 81 alarms though Iāve had an iphone going back to the original so most of those are prob 10 or more years old.

One on my phone, one on my watch, about 10 years or so. I like to wake up before the gang gets up, have a peaceful breakfast and take off for work. Let wife deal with the kids, dog and the cat, bwahahaha
Between 7:00 and 8:00 usually.

- But I really only use one (0700). The others are remnants from a specific use that I never bothered to delete - which I will do as soon as I hit reply.
Only 25. Thought I had a lot.
This is my favorite one:
It was to remind me to grab it before heading out for a soccer game probably 4 years ago.

This is why I have amazon echo dots.

I have those as well, which is probably why I have only a handful. Or when Iām planning out a bunch of things.
Wow that is a lot of alarms! I have lost track of how long Iāve had my phone, several years.
I donāt use an alarm to wake up. I wake up between 4:00-5:00 every day unless I have stayed up unusually late for some reason. Iām not great at sleeping.
I have to assume your alarms carry over when you upgrade to a new phone? Thereās no way I set 40-something different alarms just this year.
Retired - no active alarms during the week.
I Have 2 alarms that I turn on and off as necessary:
Special - I set the time when I need to get up for some reason during the week. Last used yesterday because I had an 8 am dentist appointment.
Breakfast - A standing Sunday morning 7 am alarm to get up and meet my son for breakfast. Iāve been doing this for about 15 years.

The 5:30 one is also synced with my clock radio.
The 6:15 changes depending on what my activity/work-out schedule is for the weekend.
The 4:45 I set for Monday mornings when Iām coming back from the ski house, or if I have to get up early to head to a job in East Bumfuck.
I cannot fathom any reason to have any other alarms than that.

Nah Iām not chaos. Three alarms.
One work wake up alarm, one very early alarm for races (can triathlons start at like 10 am FFS?), and one misc alarm for catching moonrises, remembering to check in for flights and so on. Those last two are disabled unless needed.
