setting alarms
Arranging timed alerts
Setting alarms is the act of programming a device to alert you at a specific time.
The phrase most often refers to wake-up alarms on phones or clocks: I'm setting alarms for 6 and 6:15 just in case.
It extends to calendar reminders, medication alerts, or any scheduled notification.
Someone who sets multiple alarms is hedging against oversleeping or forgetfulness.
