Going to bed for a 10:56 am alarm

Asleep by 1:41 am — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 3:11 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 4:41 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

Uni lectures, gym sessions before work, or just a second alarm because the first one never works: 10:56 am is a popular time to want a backup. This rings from your browser at 10:56 am. No app store, no sign-up, just a tab that needs to stay open until it fires.

Using it is simple: pick a ringtone from the list, press Start, and leave this tab open in your browser. The alarm runs entirely on this page, so closing the browser will stop it from going off. Come back a minute early if you're not sure you trust it yet.

A browser alarm like this one is handy when your phone's on silent, charging in another room, or you just don't want to unlock it and get pulled into notifications. The trade-off is honesty: it only rings while this tab stays open, so it's not a replacement for your phone alarm on a trip where the laptop lid might close. On a 24-hour clock 10:56 am is written 10:56, and spoken aloud it's four minutes to eleven in the morning. You'll also see it written 10.56 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Whether you would say set alarm for 10:56 am or put an alarm on for 10:56 am, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.

Common questions

Can I set more than one alarm at a time?

This page is built around a single alarm at a time. For multiple alarms, open a separate tab for each one and set a different time in each, keeping every tab open until it's rung.

Why use a browser alarm instead of my phone's built-in one?

Mainly for reliability against silent mode, do-not-disturb, or a phone left charging out of earshot. It's a useful backup or a desk-based alternative, though it depends on this tab staying open rather than running in the background of your phone.

Is there a cost to use this?

No, it's free, with no sign-up and no limit on how many times you set it. It just needs the tab left open until the time you've chosen arrives.

Will the alarm still ring if I close the browser tab?

No. The alarm only runs while this tab stays open — closing it, or closing the browser entirely, stops the countdown before it can ring. Keep the tab open in the background if you need it to go off later.
