Going to bed for a 4:44 am alarm

  • Asleep by 7:29 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 8:59 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 10:29 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

An alarm for 4:44 am is usually about catching something before the rest of the world is awake: a ferry, a flight, or a change of shift. Set the time, pick a tone, and leave this tab open. At 4:44 am it'll ring through your device's speakers until you tell it to stop.

After picking a tone, press Start and leave the page open. It doesn't need an internet connection once it's running, but it does need the tab itself to stay open, so avoid closing the browser or letting the device fall asleep before the time is reached.

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 4:44 am is written 04:44, and spoken aloud it's sixteen minutes to five in the morning. Written the Australian way that's 4.44 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 4:44am. Whether you would say set alarm for 4:44 am or put an alarm on for 4:44 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.
