I wouldn’t be able to sleep if I could hear the ticking of a clock either cookie, I think the one in my bedroom might be making a faint sound but with my hearing I don’t hear it. For an alarm clock I’m using one of those old type travel clocks which I’ve had for 58 years. The case has fallen off but I just stand it up against the clock radio, I just find it so much easier to set and I trust it completely whereas the digital ones you’ve only got to forget to do something and you get caught out.
I agree with you both re instructions being impossible. I bought a digital cube radio from Costco and had no idea how to set it up. I obviously fluked some of the stations but none that I’d listen to. It’s all too hard.
Loved the quotes you wrote Marina.
