Hoda Kotb can finally sleep in.

The former “Today” co-host shared a photo on social media Sunday of a set of alarms on her phone going off.

“No alarm…whaaaaaaaattttt???” she wrote in the caption of the photo, which showed alarms at 03.00, 03.15 and 03.30.

Kotb had his last day on “Today” last week, after 17 years on the morning show.

Craig Melvin made his “Today” co-anchor debut on Monday alongside Savannah Guthrie, where things got emotional.

The show put together a video of some of Melvin’s career highlights, which left him teary-eyed as Guthrie handed him a letter from Kotb for Melvin to read live.

“Day one, you are ready surrounded by love. Your team is the kind you can only dream of. Savannah, Al (Roker) and Carson (Daly) are here!,” Kotb wrote. “With partners like these, your path is clear. From out on the field to inside 30 Rock, your fans are so eager they’re watching the clock. The time has come to rise like the sun. I’m rooting for you, and a great run!”

Kotb also posted a message Monday on his Instagram account.

“And suddenly you know…It’s time to start something new and trust the magic in the beginning. Here’s to everyone starting fresh— @craigmelvinnbc and @savannahguthrie ….. @jennabushhager and friends.. and to me! Let’s do this!” she wrote in the caption.

Kotb is the mother of daughters Haley, 8, and Hope, 5, and has said she plans to spend more time with family while she decides her next step professionally.
