Online alarm clock for 1:00 am
Waiting beside your pack and watching the clock prevents a late-night generator check from becoming a vague intention. At 1:00 am, the alarm marks the exact moment to step outside and inspect the equipment at the DOC hut. You can keep the final preparations quiet, checking your torch and jacket without losing sight of the appointed time.
A generator check can be missed if the browser loses control of the alarm while your attention is elsewhere. After you start it, moving to another tab may leave the page running in the background, yet browser power-saving can suspend it. If you close the alarm page or let your phone or laptop sleep, no sound will come and the generator will still be waiting. A clearly audible tone and an active screen give the reminder a fair chance to reach you.
A late-night generator visit is easier on everyone when the noisy preparation happens earlier. With other people asleep in the hut at 1:00 am, your boots, torch, key and outer layer can sit together near the door. Keeping the alarm close enough to hear at a moderate volume reduces the need for a harsh signal that wakes every bunk before you slip outside.
