Going to bed for a 7:57 am alarm

Asleep by 10:42 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 12:12 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 1:42 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 7:57 am

You’re watching the clock for the moment to leave for the market and pick up a fresh catch, with your keys and esky ready by the door. Set the alarm for 7:57 am so you can wait without repeatedly checking the time. It gives you a clear cue just before 8:00 am, when the fish stalls and surrounding streets may begin getting busier.

Because this alarm is tied to the browser, keep the page active while you wait and leave the sound turned up enough to hear. Your market departure could be missed if the page is closed or your phone goes to sleep before the alarm fires. Plugging the phone into power can also prevent an aggressive battery-saving setting from interrupting the timer during those final minutes.

As market traffic starts building around 8:00 am, listen for changes beyond the alarm itself: more engines on the road, delivery vehicles near the stalls and extra voices at the entrance. Place the phone close by rather than beneath keys or inside the esky, where the alert may be muffled. Once it sounds, leaving promptly can put you ahead of the louder arrival period while still keeping the early trip unhurried.

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.
