Set the alarm for 3:47 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 3:47 p.m.

You have just woken up at 3:47 pm, and the basketball court still needs to be opened before the neighbourhood practice can begin. Set the alarm for 4:00 pm so you have a clear point to get up, collect the keys, and head downstairs instead of drifting back to sleep. Those 13 minutes are enough to wash your face, change clothes, and check that the ball and court lights are ready.

Your court-opening plan depends on hearing the alert, so leave this page active and keep your phone or computer awake with the sound turned up. If the device goes to sleep before 4:00 pm or you close the page, the basketball practice alarm may not sound, leaving players waiting outside. A charger nearby can also keep a low battery from interrupting the alert while you get ready.

Before walking into the afternoon heat, give yourself a moment to adjust after resting in an air-conditioned room. Bring water, switch off any unnecessary air conditioner before leaving, and avoid lingering indoors until the last minute. At 4:00 pm, shaded areas around the court may still feel warm in the Philippine climate, so unlock the gate first and set up from the cooler side while everyone arrives.
