Q: Reminder for specific time

When setting a reminder for a specific day at 22:00, I get a notification at 12:00. I do get reminded at 22:00 too, but why does it remind me before the time I asked for...

When setting a reminder for 22:00, I want it to notify me at 22:00, not 10 hours before!

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1, null

    Reminders settings

    Go to Settings > Reminders, where you can:

    • Set a default list for new reminders
    • Sync past reminders

    Keep your reminders up to date on other devices. Go to Settings > iCloud, then turn on Reminders. To keep up to date with Reminders on OS X, turn on iCloud on your Mac, too. Some other types of accounts, such as Exchange, also support Reminders. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then turn on Reminders for the accounts you want to use.

     

    Scheduled reminders

    Scheduled reminders notify you when they’re due.

    Ask Siri. Say something like: “Remind me to take my medicine at 6 a.m. tomorrow.”

    Schedule a reminder. Swipe a reminder to the left, tap More, then turn on “Remind me on a day.” Tap Alarm to set the date and time. Tap Repeat to schedule the reminder for regularly occurring intervals.

    Don’t bother me now. You can turn off Reminders notifications in Settings > Notifications. To silence notifications temporarily, turn on Do Not Disturb.

    But this is not what I am asking for..

    If I set a reminder for 10pm, why does it also remind me 10 hours before.. I want it to remind me about it at 10pm only.

    Turning off notifications is not a solution - I do want to get notify, but at the requested time only!
