Sleeping on an Alarm Clock

Question

Is placing an alarm clock under the pillow considered to cause forgetfulness? And if so, is it preferable to do so in order to wake up for prayer on time?

Answer

Shalom and blessings,

There is no concern in this matter. The concern is only mentioned regarding someone who sleeps with their head on their clothes.
