Going to bed for a 4:41 am alarm

Asleep by 7:26 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 8:56 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 10:26 pm — 4 full sleep cycles, about 6 hours

A sleep cycle runs about 90 minutes, and most people take around 15 minutes to drop off. Waking at the end of a cycle feels easier than waking in the middle of one.

How to use the online alarm clock

As you hand the National Express pickup over to someone else, set the 4:41 am alarm before explaining where your relative will be waiting. That gives the new driver a clear cue to get up, check the coach’s arrival details and collect the keys. There is still time before 5:00 am to pass on the stop name, likely exit and any message from the passenger.

For this handover, leave the alarm page open after setting the time and keep the browser running. Closing either one ends the alarm, so your relative could be left waiting while the replacement driver sleeps. The computer or phone also needs to remain awake, with its sound turned up enough to be heard. A separate phone alarm is a sensible fallback when the collection cannot be missed.

A quiet coach stop can look very different at 4:41 am from how it appears during the day. Before going to bed, tell the driver which entrance is lit and choose a visible meeting point under a lamp rather than beside a dark car park. Leave a hallway light or low bedside lamp ready as well, so waking for the alarm does not mean searching for clothes and keys in darkness.

Common questions

What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 4:41 am?

The tab sleeps along with it and the alarm will not sound on time, if at all. If you are relying on it, change the power settings so the machine stays awake, or keep a phone alarm running as well.

Do I need an account or an app?

Neither. Choose a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs in this browser tab. Nothing is downloaded, nothing is registered, and closing the page leaves nothing behind on the device.

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.
