Going to bed for a 8:33 am alarm

Asleep by 11:18 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 12:48 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 2:18 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 8:33 am

While you’re laying out your runners and filling a water bottle for a waterfront run before the heat builds, set the alarm for 8:33 am. That gives the morning a clear starting point without making you watch the clock while getting ready. You can be moving well before 9:00 am, with your keys, hat and sunscreen already sorted.

Your waterfront run may be delayed if the alarm page is closed or your phone goes to sleep, because the sound cannot then be relied upon. If you switch to weather, maps or a music app, leave this page open in the background and keep the phone awake. Check the volume before putting it down, then return briefly if the browser has paused or refreshed the page.

Build a small buffer after the run instead of treating 8:33 am as the start of a tightly packed chain. Early conditions can make it tempting to stay out longer along the foreshore, so choose a turnaround point that leaves time to walk home, cool down and change before the next commitment. With 27 minutes until 9:00 am, decide beforehand which part of that window belongs to running and which part protects the rest of your morning.

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.
