Online alarm clock for 3:05 am
You have only just woken at 3:05 am, so the studio preparation begins with one small decision: get upright and identify the first piece of broadcast gear you need. There is still room before 4:00 am to set the desk, check the programme notes, and settle into the early European live slot without treating every job as equally urgent.
Because the studio must be ready while the household stays quiet, set this browser alarm for 3:05 am and check that silent mode will not suppress its audio. Choose an audible level now, then leave the page running while you prepare. Keep the computer awake and this page open; otherwise the studio alarm cannot bring you back to the setup if you lie down again.
While the rest of the street is dark, keep the studio screen dim and use a warm display setting as you review cues. Put printed notes beside the keyboard if you have them, so you are not staring into a bright panel for the whole 55-minute run-up to 4:00 am. Turn up only the light you need for cables and controls, and let the room brighten gradually as the broadcast approaches.
