Going to bed for a 7:22 am alarm

Asleep by 10:07 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 11:37 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 1:07 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.

Online alarm clock for 7:22 am

You’re only just waking at 7:22 am, so getting out of bed is the first move towards reaching the city before the morning traffic builds. This alarm gives you a clear cue to dress, collect your keys and leave, with 8:00 am serving as a practical boundary for being on the road rather than still getting ready.

Before relying on the alarm for your departure, set the volume to a noticeable level and run a quick signal check while there is still time to adjust it. Choose a sound you can recognise from across the room, especially if your phone will sit away from the bed. Because a browser alarm cannot sound after its page is closed or the phone goes to sleep, your drive into the city could begin later than planned; keep the page active and the phone awake until it rings.

Once you pull away, allow for the trip to take longer as commuters join the main roads during the early morning. Check the current route before leaving and note whether a nearby arterial road, school zone or level crossing is likely to slow the drive. Having fuel, sunglasses and anything needed at your destination already in the car can also keep the 7:22 am start from slipping while traffic grows.

Common questions

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.

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.
