How to Use the Alarm Clock in My Winter Car
The alarm clock only works if fatigue and setup are correct. Setting the time alone is not enough. This guide explains how the alarm clock actually works so you wake up when you expect.
How the Alarm Clock Works
The alarm clock does not force sleep.
It only wakes you up if you are tired enough to stay asleep until the alarm time.
How to Set the Alarm Clock Correctly
You must set two things.
Use the button on the left to set the wake up time
Use the switch on the right to turn the alarm on
If the alarm switch is off, the alarm will never ring.
Why You Wake Up at a Random Time
This is the most common confusion.
If your fatigue is not low enough, your character wakes up early on their own. The alarm never gets a chance to ring.
This makes it feel random, but it is working as intended.
How to Make the Alarm Clock Work Every Time
You need enough fatigue.
Stay awake longer before sleeping
Do physical tasks to lower fatigue
Make sure the room is warm enough
Sleep only when fatigue is low
If you are not tired, the alarm is ignored.
Temperature and Alarm Clock Issues
Cold blocks sleep.
If the room is too cold, sleep fails
Turn heaters on and wait
Cold rooms cause early wake ups
The alarm does not override temperature rules.
Common Alarm Clock Mistakes
These stop it from working.
Setting time but not turning alarm on
Sleeping with high fatigue
Trying to sleep in a cold room
Expecting the alarm to force sleep
The system is strict.
Final Blurb
The alarm clock in My Winter Car only works if you are tired enough to sleep until the alarm time. Set the time, turn the alarm on, lower fatigue, and keep the room warm. Otherwise, you wake up early.
