I am well aware that you cannot set a 12 hour clock for a.m or p.m. Neither Oldmisery or I said anything about setting it for morning or evening. The question itself does. As Oldmisery states, the clock cannot differentiate between a.m and p.m. If you set a 12 hour alarm clock at 8 p.m. even if ithe intention is that it goes off at 9 a.m. it will go off at 9 p.m. Therefore the person will have only 1 hour's sleep.
