Set Alarm For 90 Minutes From Now

Setting an alarm for 90 minutes from now? It’s a vibe. I’m not sure everyone gets it. And maybe that's okay.

The 90-Minute Mystery

Ninety minutes. It's an odd amount of time, isn't it? Not quite an hour, not quite two. It feels… specific.

Like you’ve planned something. Like you’re not just winging it. Which, let's be honest, is often a lie. We are always winging it.

Is it for a power nap? A focused work sprint? A perfectly timed pasta cooking session? Only you know. Or maybe you don't. I definitely don't.

Unpopular Opinion Alert!

Here comes the controversial part. I think the 90-minute alarm is superior to the one-hour alarm. Fight me.

One hour feels so… arbitrary. So… expected. Ninety minutes screams intentionality. Even if it's entirely fabricated.

Think about it. Setting it for 60 minutes means a quick task. Setting it for 90 minutes is like saying, "I'm committing to something... for a bit longer." It suggests a project, a serious intention. Even if it’s just binge-watching bad reality TV.

The Art of Procrastination, Elevated

Let's be real. The 90-minute alarm is often about procrastination. We're not fooling anyone (except maybe ourselves).

“I’ll just relax for 90 minutes and then tackle that looming deadline.” Sound familiar?

It's a buffer zone. A pre-work party. An appetizer before the main course of… actual work. It's a beautiful, flawed system.

The Naptime Paradox

Ah, the power nap. The siren song of the sleep-deprived. But how long should it be? The classic advice is 20-30 minutes.

But, hear me out. Ninety minutes allows for a full sleep cycle. You might feel groggy, sure. But you'll (probably) be more refreshed than with a shorter nap. A risky gambit, though.

You risk entering a deeper sleep stage and waking up feeling worse. The trade-off, though, is a longer, more restful experience. It’s a gamble.

Embrace the Absurdity

Ultimately, the 90-minute alarm is a bit silly. It's a quirky habit. A personal ritual.

It's a reminder to slow down. To take a break. To carve out a small chunk of time for… whatever. Even if "whatever" involves scrolling through social media. It's your time!

So next time you reach for that alarm button, consider the 90-minute option. Embrace the oddity. Embrace the flexibility.

The Sound of Freedom (Briefly)

That sound! The sweet sound of your alarm. It's both a blessing and a curse.

A reminder that your 90 minutes are up. Time to face reality. Or, you know, snooze it for another 10. I won't judge.

Just remember this: you had 90 minutes. You did with it what you could. And that’s perfectly okay. That's the beauty of it all. Go forth and set those 90-minute alarms, my friends. Enjoy the ride!
