Our Gemara on Amud Beis describes two separate reminders for the cohanim to begin the service in the Temple: (1) the noise of the wheel machinery that drew the Basin out of the well, and (2) Gevini the crier, who would notify the priests of the beginning of the service.

The Gemara comments that it is acceptable and not overly redundant to utilize two reminders. Rashash (ibid) notes that there is a similar idea expressed in Succah (55a), where there were two reminders about the New Moon.

The idea that people need more than one reminder is plainly evident, as many people use the snooze feature on their alarm clock. Personally, there is nothing sweeter, no drug more euphoric, than those stolen moments when one drifts back to sleep. If one takes a single snooze, it allows adjustment and preparation for wakefulness and the day, but continuous snoozing can become addictive—a procrastinator’s dream and their spouse’s nightmare!

The Gemara seems to also accept human imperfection and the need for one additional prompt, but not ten. The difference is degree.
