Going to bed for a 8:22 am alarm

Asleep by 11:07 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 12:37 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 2:07 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.

How to use the online alarm clock

If the school run is tight, an alarm at 8:22 am buys you the minutes you actually need to get everyone dressed, fed, and out the door. Set the time, choose a tone that won't get ignored, and this page will ring at 8:22 am through your speakers for as long as you let it.

Using it is simple: pick a ringtone from the list, press Start, and leave this tab open in your browser. The alarm runs entirely on this page, so closing the browser will stop it from going off. Come back a minute early if you're not sure you trust it yet.

This works well as a second alarm, one that isn't tangled up with phone notifications, do-not-disturb settings, or low battery. It genuinely won't ring if the tab gets closed or the device goes to sleep, so treat it as a backup or a work-desk tool rather than the only alarm for something important. On a 24-hour clock 8:22 am is written 08:22, and spoken aloud it's twenty-two minutes past eight in the morning. Written the Australian way that's 8.22 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 8:22am. 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

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.

Do I need to create an account or download anything?

No, there's nothing to sign up for and nothing to install. Pick a time and a sound, press Start, and it runs entirely in this browser tab.

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.
