Going to bed for a 10:26 am alarm

Asleep by 1:11 am — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 2:41 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 4:11 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.

Online alarm clock for 10:26 am

As you finish your state practical driving test and leave the testing centre at 10:26 am, the alarm can mark the moment to collect your belongings and head out. You still have time before 11:00 am to check that you have your paperwork, keys and phone rather than rushing away from the car park.

Your licence test may end in a quiet setting, so confirm beforehand that your phone is not on silent and that the alarm tone is audible at the volume you have chosen. A browser alarm will not sound if its tab has been closed or the device has gone to sleep, which could leave you sitting through the driving test without the reminder you expected. Keeping the screen active and the browser running gives the alert a chance to play at 10:26 am.

Before a mid-morning driving test, a small familiar snack and some water are easier to manage than carrying an open drink into the car. Leave a large meal or a takeaway coffee until you have finished and walked out, especially if you would otherwise need to juggle cups, documents and keys. Packing a sealed water bottle also makes the departure at 10:26 am less awkward.

Common questions

Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?

Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.

Do I need to create an account or download anything?

No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.

Can I change the alarm sound?

Yes, there's a short list of tones to choose from before you press Start. Pick whichever one you're most likely to actually hear — softer sounds are easier to sleep through than a firm chime or bell.

What happens once the alarm goes off?

It rings through your device's speakers on a loop until you stop it from this page. There's no separate app notification, so make sure your volume is turned up before you rely on it.
