Online alarm clock for 12:45 am
Pull into a safe rest area when the 12:45 am alarm sounds, even if you are midway through the winter drive to a Victorian ski slope. The alert marks the point to break from the road rather than pushing on unnoticed through the night. With 1:00 am approaching, there is enough time to park securely, check the route and account for changing alpine conditions before continuing.
For this overnight drive, confirm beforehand that the alarm makes an audible sound while your phone is set up as it will be in the car. Silent mode may suppress the alert, so test the volume and allow sound from the browser. Keep the browser running and the phone awake; otherwise the alarm cannot signal when it is time to pause the drive. Place the phone where the sound can be heard without touching or watching it while moving.
A winter trip towards the slopes can make the 12:45 am break a practical point for a small snack and some water. Choose something simple that can be eaten while safely parked, and keep the drink within reach for the stop rather than handling it on the road. Leave a heavy meal or a large hot drink until a longer break, where there is time to sit, dispose of rubbish and settle back into the journey without rushing.
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.
