Going to bed for a 9:14 am alarm

Asleep by 11:59 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 1:29 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 2:59 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

As you finish getting ready and leave for a circular walk on a public footpath, set the alarm for 9:14 am so packing does not drift into walking time. That leaves a useful stretch of the morning before 10:00 am, whether you are checking the route, lacing muddy boots or making sure a waterproof is within reach.

Your departure may need a gentle nudge if everything is already by the door, while a more insistent tone suits a morning when maps, keys and extra layers are still scattered around. Choose a sound that matches that situation and set its volume before returning to your preparations. Because this browser alarm depends on its page remaining open and the phone staying awake, closing the page or letting the phone sleep could delay your walk.

Leaving at 9:14 am can affect anyone still enjoying a quiet morning at home, so keep the alarm close enough to hear without filling several rooms. A softer tone with moderate volume is often sufficient when the phone is beside your boots or rucksack. If other people are sleeping after a late shift, add vibration on a hard surface and silence the alarm promptly before heading out.

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 9:14 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.
