Going to bed for a 8:24 am alarm

Asleep by 11:09 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 12:39 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 2:09 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

As you finish getting ready and head out, set the alarm for 8:24 am so you can reach the station car park while commuter spaces are still turning over. It gives the departure a firm edge instead of letting breakfast or one last household job drift towards 9:00 am. Keep keys, pass and anything needed for the train together, then let the alert mark the moment to leave.

For station parking, a visible alarm is not enough if the handset is on silent. Check the media volume, since browser audio may follow that setting rather than the ringtone level, and test a brief alert before relying on it. Keep this page active and the phone awake: if the browser stops running or the phone sleeps, the alarm will not sound, leaving your station parking plan without its cue.

Leaving the car park at 8:24 am means moving through a soundscape that is already changing: quieter residential roads can give way to idling engines, closing doors and platform announcements near the station. Put the phone where the alert remains audible above the car heater and traffic, rather than inside a zipped bag. If the surrounding noise rises as 9:00 am approaches, choose a distinct alarm tone and confirm its volume before setting off.

Common questions

What happens if my laptop goes to sleep before 8:24 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.
