How to avoid alarm failure

How many ways can you mess up setting an alarm on your ipod? You'd think it would be pretty simple right? Well I seem to have found all the ways you can have ipod alarm failure. Here's how to avoid that. Just run through this quick checklist every night before bed and you'll be fine! Oh, don't forget to smile when you read this. :-)

1. Make sure you have set your ipod to your current time zone
2. Make sure the alarm is set to "on" not "off"
3. Make sure the volume is turned up
4. Make sure you have it set to the right day: for example if you have it set to M-F it won't go off on Saturday!
   
5. Make sure you don't have headphones plugged into it or you can't hear it even though you have taken care of the first four.

Hopefully now I have run into all the possible ipod alarm problems. Do you know any more?
