My alarm clock keeps reseting itself?

Question

Since last week, every once in a while my alarm clock resets itself it 12 am with a loud blare. Just several minutes ago it did this constantly in a row, like someone was flicking the power on and off constantly. I had never had this happen before. No power outage problems, as the other things that's plugged in are working fine. The alarm clock isn't run by battery.

Do I have to get a new one? Why is this happening?

A momentary flicker in power can cause this without affecting other items, but in your case I'd cut my losses and invest in a new one.
