Set the alarm for 2:34 a.m.

Web alarm clock for 2:34 a.m.

You are finishing the last crates from the night boat at 2:34 am, rinsing the unloading area, and getting ready to head home. Setting an alarm now gives you a clear stopping point before tiredness stretches the job further. With 3:00 am approaching, you can use those final minutes to secure the catch, return the gear, and leave the landing tidy.

Because the alarm marks the end of unloading rather than the start of another task, check its sound before you depend on it. Set 2:34 am briefly while you are still awake, confirm that the volume can be heard over running water, engines, or ice being moved, then restore the intended time. Keep the browser running and the phone awake: otherwise, the alarm may stay silent and delay your departure after unloading the catch.

As you come in from the landing during the quietest part of the night, remember that others at home may still be asleep. Keep the phone close enough that a lower volume will wake you without carrying through the house, and switch off vibration if it will rattle on a table. Prepare keys and dry clothes before the alarm so you can enter quietly and settle the remaining gear later.
