You'll also want to make sure your laptop is plugged into the wall instead of using its battery; and prevent it from going into "sleep mode". Regarding this question: >>do you worry about the security risk of leaving your laptop out over night in cheap hotels? Actually, as long as you're actually in the room, I see no security risk in having the laptop out. It's just that when you leave the room, you'll want to lock up your laptop in either a room safe or in the hotel's own safe. We hope this information has been helpful! @Erin: For our Online Alarm Clock to function you do need to leave your laptop on, and it needs an internet connection.

This may be a silly question but do you need to leave your laptop on for these alarms to work? Also, do you worry about the security risk of leaving your laptop out over night in cheap hotels?
