How to use the online alarm clock
Five in the morning is where early starts turn into a proper routine for a lot of Australians. It's the hour tradies, delivery drivers and hospital staff set for the beginning of a working day, and the hour serious runners and cyclists choose to get a session done before the heat builds, especially through the warmer months.
Surfers checking dawn conditions are a fixture at this hour too, along with commuters facing a long drive or train trip into a capital city and wanting a head start on traffic. Farmers and those in agriculture commonly begin the working day around now, particularly for tasks best done before the day warms up.
Anyone with a 7 or 8 am flight will often set a 5 am alarm as well, since domestic airports expect passengers well ahead of departure. Whatever the reason, precision matters at this hour — a few minutes either way can mean missing the best surf, the earliest train, or a tight airport check-in window.
Each minute from 5:00 am to 5:59 am has its own page below, every one a straightforward browser alarm that needs no install and no account — just an open tab and a device that isn't asleep when the minute ticks over.
