Going to bed for a 8:22 am alarm

Asleep by 11:07 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 12:37 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 2:07 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

Before handing the station parking run to someone else, set the alarm for 8:22 am and make the changeover clear: they need to leave when it sounds. That gives them a defined cue for taking over, rather than relying on a hurried message or a glance at the clock. With 9:00 am approaching, those 38 minutes can cover the drive and the search for a space before commuter parking becomes busier.

Because this alarm runs in the browser, keep its page open after setting the time and leave the sound at an audible level. Closing the browser ends the alarm session, and a phone or laptop that suspends it may also stay silent, so the person covering the station parking trip could miss the agreed departure cue. If responsibility is changing hands, confirm that the alarm is still visible and active on the device that will remain with the driver.

For an early station journey, shifting light can make entrances, bay markings and pedestrians harder to pick out at a glance. Before the handover, clear any mist from the windows, set the screen brightness so it does not reflect strongly in the glass, and check that the lights are ready for shaded roads or a dull British morning. Positioning sunglasses within reach can also help if low sun appears during the drive.

Common questions

What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 8:22 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.
