A reformed congregational Protestant denomination - big words for a simple liturgical tradition. We are theologically pretty liberal. By way of comparison Church of Scotland could be described as a reformed presbyterian Protestant denomination (I think), and it’s (currently) a bit less theologically liberal.
I just stayed awake until half past midnight instead so I wasted it.An extra hour in bed made out to be a good thing. No, it really means you wake at the ‘normal’ time and spend an hour looking at the clock to see if it is actually time to get up

These kind of stories make me laugh, I'd have thought it was virtually impossible nowadays. Not a single clock in my house and phones obviously update automatically while you're asleep. The only clock I had to change was the one in my car.
No microwave or oven? No regular clocks in your living room or one in your bedroom?
I’m with Orikoru on this one; we don’t have a single clock in the house that isn’t on a phone.
The microwave and oven certainly have clocks on them, but we've never bothered setting them or anything. No point.
Same as ours. They have never been set to the right time, are the only clocks in the house that don’t automatically update.
I never have the sound on my phone, ever, for things like messages or calls. The only time it makes a noise is the alarm to wake me up.
Surely it's more stressful having a bunch of devices telling you what time it is all the time? Haha. If I want to know what the time is I just look at my phone.This would stress me out enormously. I like clocks
Don't even know how to set the time on the oven. It's been showing a completely random time on it since we moved in 8 years ago. Every now and then - usually months apart - and alarm goes off on it. I stop the alarm by pressing all the buttons at once. No idea why it does that, how you or on unset the alarm, and it's very weird that it only happens like twice a year.
Firstly, yes, the phone is on charge sitting on my bedside table every night. I don't need to turn the sound off because it's never on. Permanently on vibrate. Also I have 'do not disturb' activated between midnight and 6 or 7am to prevent being woken up by a stupid WhatsApp message in the middle of the night.
I look at my watch!
Is your watch illuminated? Mine isn't so it is no use in the dark. We have a digital clock in the bedroom with LED lights. A quick glance and I know whether to groan, put my head down again or it is time to get up
