Building off of an earlier comment. Setting alarm(s) for anything you need to at/by a specific time increases the chance you will actually do them, while decreasing the amount of time you spend worrying about doing them. Corollary, this can make your watch/alarm clock/smartphone a single point of failure for a huge chunk of you life, so take good care of it and/or have a back up.
ETA: "worrying about"
This reminds me that I need a better alarm app so I don't have an ugh field about setting alarms.
Agreed, random anecdote: I once slept for literally 16 hours after my phone died overnight.
That suggests rather strongly that the sleep pattern you typically force on yourself isn't healthy!
