Do you have an animal that likes to join you for writing? If so, what do they like to do while you're putting down words?
I adopted an adorable black cat just about two months ago now (she is the sixth cat I've had in my life), and she's the only animal in my family allowed in my bedroom (for her good manners and cleanliness), where I write. Since I've somehow managed to change my writing schedule to be diurnal, and she is very much nocturnal, she likes to sleep beside me while I write. But, she gets nightmares (the shelter thought she's probably had a rough past), and because of that wakes up every half hour, almost at exactly thirty minutes. She tends to wake up with a sudden "MRRR?!", and it's loud enough to snap me out of my writing, music, and whatever else is holding my attention. So I always get up and stretch, get a drink, and take a break for a minute or two every half hour (and of course give her plenty of pets and comfort when she wakes up). Naturally I didn't think to do that with just my phone alarm before I got her, hahah. I just felt this would be an interesting quirk to share here. Hopefully she'll be able to sleep more easily soon, though. She has been doing much better all around.
