Going to bed for a 11:42 am alarm

Asleep by 2:27 am — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 3:57 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 5:27 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 11:42 am

Waking at 11:42 am puts your ward round firmly in the foreground before anything else has begun. Set the alarm for that exact time so you have a clear cue to get up, dress and collect what you need. With 12:00 pm approaching, the remaining stretch can cover a quick wash and a check of your essentials without turning the morning into a scramble.

Your ward round depends on the browser remaining able to play audio, so use the time display as confirmation that the alarm is still active. If you close the browser tab, or let the phone or laptop sleep, the alarm cannot sound and your ward round may start without you. Before settling back, test the volume once and leave the screen powered where the signal will be audible.

Leaving for a late-morning ward round from an air-conditioned room can make the outdoor heat feel especially abrupt. Put your uniform, pass and drink bottle beside the alarm now, rather than searching after it rings. At 11:42 am, strong sun and cool indoor air can pull your attention in opposite directions; keeping the exit routine short preserves those minutes for the ward round.

Common questions

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.

Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?

It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.

Can I use this on my phone instead of a laptop?

Yes, it works in a mobile browser the same way, but phones are more likely to lock the screen or sleep, which can stop the alarm from ringing. A laptop or desktop tends to be more reliable for this.

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.
