Going to bed for a 6:49 am alarm

Asleep by 9:34 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 11:04 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 12:34 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

Uni lectures, gym sessions before work, or just a second alarm because the first one never works: 6:49 am is a popular time to want a backup. This rings from your browser at 6:49 am. No app store, no sign-up, just a tab that needs to stay open until it fires.

Set your preferred sound, press Start, then leave the tab where it is. Everything happens inside the browser — no background app, no notification pushed from a server — so an open tab is what actually makes the alarm ring at the right time.

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 6:49 am is written 06:49, and spoken aloud it's eleven minutes to seven in the morning. You'll also see it written 6.49 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 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.
