Going to bed for a 6:47 am alarm

Asleep by 9:32 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 11:02 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 12:32 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

Getting out the door for the school run or the commute into the city gets easier when 6:47 am is locked in properly. Choose a sound, hit start, and this browser alarm will ring at 6:47 am whether you're upstairs making lunches or still half asleep. Just keep the tab open so it has a chance to go off.

Using it is simple: pick a ringtone from the list, press Start, and leave this tab open in your browser. The alarm runs entirely on this page, so closing the browser will stop it from going off. Come back a minute early if you're not sure you trust it yet.

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 6:47 am is written 06:47, and spoken aloud it's thirteen minutes to seven in the morning. Written the Australian way that's 6.47 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 6:47am. Setting the alarm to 6:47 am tomorrow morning works the same way: if the time has gone for today, the count runs through to it.

Common questions

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.

Does the alarm work if my laptop goes to sleep?

Not reliably. If the device sleeps or the screen locks, the browser tab pauses along with it, so the alarm may not fire on time or at all. Adjust your power settings if you're relying on this over a longer stretch.

Do I need to create an account or download anything?

No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.

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.
