Going to bed for a 7:31 am alarm

  • Asleep by 10:16 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 11:46 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 1:16 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

Between the commute and the first coffee, 7:31 am is often the last checkpoint before the day properly starts. This tool sets a browser alarm for 7:31 am that rings through your device's speakers, handy for a desk you're already sitting at or a laptop open on the kitchen bench.

Choose a sound before you press Start — something like a chime or a classic bell tends to work better than anything too gentle. Once it's running, the countdown happens right here in the browser, which means the tab needs to stay open in the background rather than being closed.

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 7:31 am is written 07:31, and spoken aloud it's twenty-nine minutes to eight in the morning. You'll also see it written 7.31 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Whether you would say set alarm for 7:31 am or put an alarm on for 7:31 am, the steps are the same: pick a sound, press Start, leave the tab open.

Common questions

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.

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.
