Going to bed for a 7:14 am alarm

Asleep by 9:59 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 11:29 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 12:59 am — 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

Breaking away halfway through a job with the flock is easier when 7:14 am has a clear purpose: it marks the moment to begin the sheep round on a Welsh farm. The alarm separates the work already under way from the first walk across the fields, while leaving 46 minutes before 8:00 am for checking gates, counting animals and noting anything that needs attention.

For this particular handover, the browser alarm works while its page remains open and the phone or computer stays awake. Closing the page or browser, or letting the machine sleep, means the sheep round may begin without any sound to mark it. Keeping the alarm visible while finishing the current task makes its status easy to check; the displayed time also confirms that 7:14 am, rather than a nearby minute, has been selected.

Across the farm, the soundscape can change quickly at this hour as birds, machinery and activity in the yard begin to build. A phone buried beneath a coat or left beside a running engine may be difficult to hear, so placing it on a dry, stable surface nearby and choosing a volume that stands above the surrounding noise gives the 7:14 am signal a clearer role.

Common questions

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.

What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 7:14 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.
