Going to bed for a 4:22 am alarm

Asleep by 7:07 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 8:37 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 10:07 pm — 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

Tradies, nurses on night shift, and anyone driving to the airport before the birds wake up all end up here around 4:22 am. This alarm rings straight from your browser tab at 4:22 am, loud enough to cut through a quiet house, without needing an app or an account first.

Start by selecting a tone from the dropdown, then hit Start to lock it in. From that point the page does the counting, and it'll ring once the time is reached, but only if the tab is still open somewhere on your device. Closing it, or the browser entirely, cancels the alarm.

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 4:22 am is written 04:22, and spoken aloud it's twenty-two minutes past four at night. You'll also see it written 4.22 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 4:22 am, set the alarm to 4:22 am, set my alarm for 4:22 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.

Common questions

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.

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.
