I was referring to the use of a kitchen timer when I said to use the
stove or microwave. As far as wakening up, I have a remote-controlled
clock/radio and I can indulge in one or two snooze periods before
actually getting up. I wear a watch with an alarm setting but seldom use
it. In fact, I'd have to reread the instructions to get it to work.
