How to use the online alarm clock
Waking at 3:26 pm with a Championship match ahead means the day starts with getting out of bed and gathering what you need for the ground. Set the alarm for this exact time so there is a clear break between sleep and leaving preparations. With 4:00 pm approaching, there is still a useful window for getting dressed, checking your ticket and finding the right train or bus.
Your match preparations may come with television, conversation or traffic noise outside, so choose a volume you can hear from where you are sleeping. Test the sound before settling down and avoid leaving the phone beneath clothes or bedding, where the signal may be muffled. Do not depend on this browser alarm for the match if the browser is no longer running or the phone falls asleep, as the signal will not sound.
Leaving for the football during the afternoon can affect everyone else at home, especially if they are working, resting or using the same hallway. Put your clothes, keys and ticket together beforehand, then keep the 3:26 pm signal close enough to wake you without filling the whole house. A short, distinct alarm followed by a quiet vibration gives you a prompt while limiting the disturbance for other people.
Common questions
Can I change the sound?
Yes, there is a short list of tones to pick from before you press Start. Softer sounds are easy to sleep through, so a firmer bell tends to be the safer choice for anything early in the morning.
Will it still be right when the clocks change?
Yes. It reads your device's local clock, so the move between GMT and BST at the end of March and October is picked up automatically, as long as the computer's date, time and time zone are set correctly.
Can I use this on a phone?
It works in a mobile browser, but phones lock the screen and suspend background tabs far more readily than a laptop does, which can stop the alarm sounding. For anything important, a desktop or a plugged-in laptop is the steadier option.
Does the alarm still work if I close the tab?
No. Everything runs inside this page, so closing the tab — or quitting the browser altogether — ends the countdown there and then. Leaving it open in the background is all it asks, and switching to another tab makes no difference.
