Hardmode is busted, it's just "survive for 20 minutes until RNG kills you"

I was standing near the recycling bench picking up a coin when the crawler's noise started- I instantly sprinted for the door but it beat me there. I've min-max my runs so that I always have lamp upgrades for first night-time but I've died countless times to either deer at the absolute edge of my light radius. My first 2 day run was ended because I wasn't introduced to the fishing pole trap until then. 

The crawler comes every 2-2:20 seconds so I put a 1:50 timer on every time it leaves and then stand outside the house until it shows up

(Except the first crawler who always shows up at exactly 1:30 into the run)

I tried doing this but the second I take my eyes off the screen to check the timer I'll get 1 pixel too close to the deer, and using a timer outside the game as the only way to survive a specific enemy isn't interesting gameplay anyways.  It's just not viable to wait outside the cabin for 15-20 minutes at a time (the clowns specifically counter this anyways, even if you run right towards them the second the music starts you might not reach them in time).
