Why is it that any alarm clock I buy will ring (briefly) in the middle of the night?

Richard J asked:


I’ve bought half a dozen or more alarm clocks in the last 4 years or so — both analog and digital. All of them work fine almost all the time; but every one of them, once set, will occasionally ring (very briefly) in the middle of the night. Another 20, 30, or 40 days might go by before I’ll encounter the same disturbing behavior.

What can I do to get an alarm clock that won’t intrude into my sleep uninvited?
