The mere fact that midnight is the HOUR of YOUR SCHEDULED assault... means you have SET the TIME but have never set the ALARM clock... and are using it mainly as a clock only... Yes?

Not as a radio... (I don't know your model... but most radio alarms are at your regular listening volume... (my sheltered opinion)).

(trying to be Sherlock here).

So you probably have your
ON - Off - Radio - Alarm selector switch set to RADIO... Yes?

I'm guessing... That is the problem.

When you want to listen... use the sleep or on buttons... or the "ON"

If I am off the mark... "comment" back to me with the MODEL & MAKE... and I'll give it a better going over.

Peaceful sleep is nice.

If you unplug the clock, then plug it in again, the time should blink. Then you can use the volume buttons to set the hour. Press the Time button after the hour is set and the minutes will start blinking. Follow the same procedure to set the minute.

I have not figured out how to set the alarm time yet. Hope this helps.

The Power and Sleep Functions share the same button. If you press the Power/Sleep button repeatedly you see numbers displayed 90, 75 60, ... 01. These are the duration of the sleep functions. If you stop at 60 the radio will work for 60 minutes then turns itself off. This must be a battery saving feature so that a radio will not be on for ever. Suppose the radio has been on for a while (long or short) and you want to turn it off without waiting for the sleep timer. Just press the Power/Sleep button.
