Going to bed for a 5:22 am alarm

  • Asleep by 8:07 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 9:37 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 11:07 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

Nobody sets an alarm for 5:22 am for fun. Maybe it's an early shift at the depot, a long drive before the roads get busy, or you're still awake and don't trust yourself to notice the time. Pick a sound, set it for 5:22 am, and this page will handle the rest while the house stays quiet.

Set your preferred sound, press Start, then leave the tab where it is. Everything happens inside the browser — no background app, no notification pushed from a server — so an open tab is what actually makes the alarm ring at the right time.

Compared to a phone, this alarm has one job and nothing else competing for attention — no messages, no app switching. It's free and doesn't ask for sign-up, but it only works while the tab is open and the device stays awake, so it suits daytime use at a desk better than an overnight bedroom alarm. On a 24-hour clock 5:22 am is written 05:22, and spoken aloud it's twenty-two minutes past five in the morning. Written the Australian way that's 5.22 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 5:22am. Set an alarm for 5:22 am, set the alarm to 5:22 am, set my alarm for 5:22 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.

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.
