So, I think I found why some people had an early morning wakeup.  It has to do with resetting the time zone.

To reproduce the problem:

* Set up new boom on SN in daughter's room
* Set the alarm for 6:55 AM.
* Notice that your real local time is 7:30PM, but the boom says 10:30PM
* Change your time zone from New York to San Francisco
* Notice that now the boom says the time is 7:31PM.  That's good.
* Go to bed.
* Be alarmed that it's 3:55 in the morning and the Door's, "Break on through to the other side" is blasting in your daughter's room.  Luckily she didn't wake up, but you did. :-)


My guess is the alarm times are stored in GMT, but are not readjusted during time zone changes.

Ah, so changing the time zone after the alarm is already set causes the problem?  Should be an easy one.

Could this one be related to

If so it isn't dependend on changing timezones after the alarm has been set.
