I use the alarm clock as well and it's been working fine. Same with the Touch I had before it.

I'm using the stock charger, but recently I changed out the short USB cable with one I found from an old Sony Cybershot digicam, which is longer by about another foot. The only weird thing I noticed with that one is sometimes when I wake up the screen is on but dim. Usually the screen is off. It only did that a few times and when I started paying attention to it, it stopped doing it (go figure). But no lockups.
