Coursework due at midnight has ended more evenings than any alarm ever has, and the last hour before a deadline is when the exact figure matters most. This page tracks the time remaining until 11:15 pm down to the second, rather than rounding it into something more comfortable.
Rather than rounding to the nearest minute, the count tracks hours, minutes and seconds the whole way down, in one line. That precision matters most in the last stretch, when the minutes turn into single figures and the difference between leaving now and leaving shortly stops being academic and starts costing you the train.
Between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October the country runs on BST rather than GMT, which is why timetables and confirmations sometimes carry the label as well as the number. This page counts down to 11:15 pm using whatever your device is currently set to, so the switch is handled for you.
Common questions
Will this alert me when the time arrives?
No. It is a live number rather than an alarm — nothing rings, buzzes or notifies you at zero. If you need to be interrupted at 11:15 pm, set an alarm as well and treat this page as the running total.
Is it affected by the clocks changing?
Only in the sense that your device is. When the change between GMT and BST happens at the end of March and October, the device adjusts and the countdown follows it without anything to do here.
What is 23:15 in the 12-hour clock?
That is 11:15 pm, or quarter past eleven at night if you are saying it aloud. From 13:00 onwards, subtracting twelve gives the pm figure — the same moment written three different ways.
Does the number update by itself?
Yes. It recalculates every second from your device's clock, so there is nothing to refresh or restart. Whatever is on screen is the current gap to the target time, not a figure worked out when the page first loaded.
