Going to bed for a 6:13 am alarm

Asleep by 8:58 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 10:28 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 11:58 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

Mornings between six and eleven are when most households actually need an alarm, not the phone buried in a bag by the door. Set this one for 6:13 am, pick something loud enough to cut through breakfast noise, and it'll ring right on 6:13 am through your laptop or desktop speakers.

Pick whichever sound you're most likely to actually notice, then press Start. The alarm is tied to this browser tab, so it needs to stay open. Minimising the window is fine, but closing the tab or the browser will stop the countdown before it ever rings.

Unlike a phone alarm, this one won't ring if you close the tab, put the computer to sleep, or shut the lid, so it suits a desk, a kitchen bench, or anywhere the device stays powered on and awake. It's free to use and doesn't need an account, but it's not built for unattended overnight use. On a 24-hour clock 6:13 am is written 06:13, and spoken aloud it's thirteen minutes past six in the morning. Timetables and rosters may show it as 06:13, and handwritten notes as 6.13 am. Setting the alarm to 6:13 am tomorrow morning works the same way: if the time has gone for today, the count runs through to it.

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.
