How fast do you set your clocks?

[DeezNuts]

I've always set my alarm clock at least 20 minutes fast. It also has to be some random number like 23 minutes. I reason that it helps me to wake up by having to do at least a tiny bit of simple math as I groggily look at the clock. The rest of my clocks are about 5-10 minutes fast, but the clock on my phone and computer are set at the correct time.

A lot of people set their car/home clocks 5 minutes fast. I used to joke that I "gave people x minutes of their lives back" when they would freak out because my car is set 28 minutes fast and they thought they were late. Yeah, my friends think I'm an idiot.

Anyone else do this? How many minutes fast and why?

My clock is set 5 minutes slow mostly because I don't give a [censored].

I'm not a morning person, and am so retarded when I wake up, I actually fool myself a decent amount of the time.

i don't set my clocks

i just have to adjust based on the last time the power went out

it's awesome...right now, the clock I'm looking at is off by 5 hours and 24 minutes

alarm clock is 15-20 min fast, not sure exactly. All other clocks are correct

Tried doing all that 5 mins fast [censored] but never ever tricked myself, sadly.

I have like four visible clocks in my room other than my alarm clock. Wouldn't work.

All my timepieces are synchronized to my cell phone, which is usually accurate. Have never tried to trick myself with setting clocks fast. I imagine it would piss me off.

In order to make sure I get up on time, I set two alarms at slightly different times. I have to get up to turn each of them off. If I absolutely must be up at a given time, I set my cell phone and another alarm.

I never understood the whole concept of setting your clocks fast, because whenever I have done it I just adjust the fast time in my head to get the real time. You can't be fooled by it, if you know how fast it is. So I just set my clocks to be accurate.

All my clocks are set correctly because I want to know what time it is when I look at the clock.
