Digital Clock
I have had a digital clock in my room for as long as I can really remember. When
I was a kid, I was in charge of my own wake-up calls. I quickly learned how to
use my digital clock properly.
When I was a young adult, I had an alarm clock to wake up for work. Sometimes it
was set for 2PM, but it was still set for a wake-up call. The funny thing was
that a digital clock is always the very first thing I need after I move.

I moved a lot of times during my twenties. I would usually end up buying a
new digital clock at the all-night drugstore the day of the move. I had to do
that because I never seemed to have the foresight to pack it in a reasonable
place.
I still have a digital clock in my bedroom. It is equipped with an alarm, but I
don’t think I’ve needed it in several years. My kids have a digital clock in
their bedroom to wake them up for school.
I don’t have to set my digital clock to get them ready or to feed them breakfast
during the school year. My kids are old enough to dress themselves and walk to
school. The school that they attend feeds every kid in the school free breakfast
in their classrooms.
I can’t really sleep without a digital clock in my room, even
though I do not use it for its alarm capabilities. I just have some burning need
to know what time it is about every hour or so all night long. I’ve always been
like this.
My son is pretty good with his digital clock. He’s only overslept three times as
a result of either not setting it or ignoring it. He was pretty upset each of
those times. He hates to be late. My daughter could actually care less if she is
late.
