How to use the online alarm clock
Nine in the morning belongs to Saturday as much as to the working week. parkrun starts at nine across England, Wales and Northern Ireland — half past nine in Scotland — and several hundred thousand people organise their weekend mornings around getting to a park before it does.
On weekdays it is the traditional start of business. Shops turn their signs round, offices fill, schools take the register, and the phrase nine to five still describes the shape of a British working day even for the many people who no longer keep it. Council offices, dentists and solicitors all open their lines around now, which makes this a useful hour for a reminder rather than a wake-up.
For anyone working from home it often marks the switch from the school drop-off into focused work, and an alarm here is a way of making that switch happen rather than drifting. The pages below cover every minute from 9:00 am to 9:59 am.
