Web alarm clock for 5:55 a.m.
As you hand over the job of guiding the children across the flooded street, set the 5:55 am alarm to mark the change. The next person then has a clear cue before 6:00 am, while you can pass along which stretch has deeper water, where the current is stronger, and which side offers firmer footing.
While the children are being escorted, check where your phone is sending the alarm sound. Earbuds left connected after an early call can take the alert without you noticing, leaving the speaker quiet. Play a brief test and raise the volume before relying on it. Keep the browser page active and the phone awake: if either closes down, the alarm may not sound, and the flooded street handover could be missed.
Once your turn at the crossing ends this early, avoid filling the next few minutes with messages if you plan to sleep again. Leave dry clothes, a towel, and any wet footwear where you can handle them later, then dim the screen and settle promptly. A 5:55 am alert can interrupt the last part of your sleep, so keeping the handover brief gives you a calmer chance to rest after 6:00 am.
