Going to bed for a 6:44 am alarm

  • Asleep by 9:29 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 10:59 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 12:29 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

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 6:44 am, pick something loud enough to cut through breakfast noise, and it'll ring right on 6:44 am through your laptop or desktop speakers.

Select a sound, hit Start, and that's the whole setup. The countdown runs inside this browser tab rather than on your device's operating system, so it needs to remain open, on a phone or laptop, until the alarm actually goes off.

The advantage of a browser alarm is volume and reliability at a desk: laptop speakers are often louder and easier to hear across a room than a phone left in a bag. The catch is that it depends entirely on the tab staying open; if the browser closes or the laptop sleeps, the alarm won't fire. On a 24-hour clock 6:44 am is written 06:44, and spoken aloud it's sixteen minutes to seven in the morning. You'll also see it written 6.44 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. If you need it loud, turn the system volume up before you start: the alarm plays at whatever the device is set to.

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.
