Going to bed for a 11:36 am alarm

Asleep by 2:21 am — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 3:51 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 5:21 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

If your roster has you starting or finishing around the middle of the day, an alarm at 11:36 am keeps you from relying on memory alone. This sets a browser alarm for 11:36 am that rings until you stop it, handy for anyone working an irregular shift.

Pick whichever sound you're most likely to actually notice, then press Start. The alarm is tied to this browser tab, so it needs to stay open. Minimising the window is fine, but closing the tab or the browser will stop the countdown before it ever rings.

It's free to use, doesn't need an account, and works the same in any modern browser, but it's honestly not meant to replace your phone for anything you can't afford to sleep through. Keep the tab open and the device awake, and it'll ring reliably at the time you set. On a 24-hour clock 11:36 am is written 11:36, and spoken aloud it's twenty-four minutes to twelve in the afternoon. Written the Australian way that's 11.36 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 11:36am. Setting the alarm to 11:36 am tomorrow morning works the same way: if the time has gone for today, the count runs through to it.

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.
