How to use the online alarm clock
One in the morning sits deep in the overnight stretch, and the people setting alarms for this hour are usually already awake rather than trying to wake up. Night-shift workers in hospitals, mines, call centres and transport depots use this page to mark a break, a rotation, or the point where a task needs checking on.
It's also a common hour for international phone calls. With family or business contacts in Europe or North America, 1 am in an Australian capital can line up neatly with a convenient evening or lunchtime somewhere else, and a precise alarm beats squinting at multiple time zone conversions.
Long-haul travellers use it too — an alarm timed to a connecting flight, a departure from an airport hotel, or a reminder to take medication on a schedule that doesn't pause for sleep.
Whatever the reason, every minute of the hour is listed below as its own page, each one a simple browser-based alarm that fires as long as the tab stays open and the device isn't asleep.
