You don't want to just fire after 60 mins from when your last timer function was triggered. NSTimers can fire late, especially if the machine is asleep at the time that the timer was supposed to fire, so firing at Now+60mins will tend to drift; if you want the timer to go off on the hour where possible this will be bad.

You would of course re-schedule your timers whenever you wake up from sleep. That's something you always need to do when you use NSTimer to fire at an absolute time, and not really particular to how you choose to tackle this problem.
