Thank you...
It does work surprisingly well. I play a lot of "hardcore" wargames, which are really brain-intensive and can sometimes take half an hour to just plan your next moves, so I know that "what just happened??" feeling of say starting at 8pm, then looking up thinking it's been 45 min or so and realizing it's suddenly 2am
I'm one of those types also who's either 100% "zoned in" and unable to notice anything else, or just absolutely apathetic toward whatever I'm doing- balance and I don't always get along yet.
I set aside a whole lot of "game time" for the weekends, and play enough to stay sane during the week also, but annoying myself with an alarm allows me to not lose track of time, or stuff that needs to be done around the house, and etc. I'll go, hit the snooze button, go back and finish up/save whatever I'm doing, and when it goes off again 9 min later, I'm ready to get back to what I need to do that day.
