Set the alarm for 6:47 p.m.

Web alarm clock for 6:47 p.m.

You have just woken up to handle the pump after the scheduled brownout, so set the alarm for 6:47 pm before sleepiness pulls you back under. That gives you a clear cue to get up, check that power has returned, and prepare to switch the pump on. By 7:00 pm, you can already be watching its flow instead of wondering whether you missed the time.

A pump restarting can be fairly quiet, especially with electric fans, family conversation, or traffic outside. Pick a persistent alarm tone if you may drift off again; a softer sound makes more sense only when someone nearby is also resting and you are confident you will notice it. Test the volume once, then leave this page active and keep your phone awake. If the page is closed or the phone sleeps, the pump reminder may not sound, leaving the restart unattended.

Because this task falls near the end of the afternoon in the Philippines, have a little water ready before lying down, particularly after a warm day. If merienda is still on the table, choose something light that will not keep you occupied when the alarm rings. Save a full meal and any hot drink that needs careful handling until the pump is running steadily and your checks are finished.
