Going to bed for a 6:31 am alarm

  • Asleep by 9:16 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 10:46 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 12:16 am — 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

Some people set this for 6:31 am because their phone alarm gets silenced by early notifications; others just want a second, louder reminder. Either way, pick 6:31 am, choose a sound, press start, and leave the tab open. It'll ring at 6:31 am until you close it or hit stop.

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.

This works well as a second alarm, one that isn't tangled up with phone notifications, do-not-disturb settings, or low battery. It genuinely won't ring if the tab gets closed or the device goes to sleep, so treat it as a backup or a work-desk tool rather than the only alarm for something important. On a 24-hour clock 6:31 am is written 06:31, and spoken aloud it's twenty-nine minutes to seven in the morning. Timetables and rosters may show it as 06:31, and handwritten notes as 6.31 am. Set an alarm for 6:31 am, set the alarm to 6:31 am, set my alarm for 6:31 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.

Common questions

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.

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.
