Going to bed for a 8:06 am alarm

  • Asleep by 10:51 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 12:21 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 1:51 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 8:06 am

You’re packing up after opening the local public ground for morning cricket, and the 8:06 am alarm marks the point when you can lock the gate behind the first players and head off. With 9:00 am still ahead, there is time to finish the handover without hovering beside the clock. The alert gives you a clear stopping point when conversations around the pitch could otherwise stretch on.

Because you plan to leave once the ground is open, the alarm needs to remain available after you set it. If you close its tab or browser, or let the device go to sleep, no sound will play and the cricket handover may run past your intended departure. A background tab is fine while the browser stays open and the device remains awake. Checking those conditions before you walk across the oval avoids relying on an alert that can no longer run.

Early light can shift quickly across an Australian cricket ground, especially where trees or a clubhouse shade the entrance. Before 8:06 am, place keys, signs and any gate paperwork where the growing glare will not hide them. Positioning your screen out of direct sunlight also makes the alarm easier to see when you return from the boundary, so you can dismiss it promptly and leave without searching through bright reflections.

Common questions

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.

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.
