Going to bed for a 8:58 am alarm

Asleep by 11:43 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 1:13 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 2:43 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 8:58 am

You’re halfway through a morning job when the hens need letting out before daytime birds of prey become active. Set the alarm for 8:58 am so you can leave what you’re doing and head straight to the chook yard. With 9:00 am close behind, there is just enough time to put down your tools and make the switch without watching the clock.

Because you may be working away from the phone, check its silent setting before relying on the alarm. Raise the sound to a level you can hear from where you are, then leave the alarm page ready. Keep that page open and the phone awake, or the alarm cannot call you back to the hens. A quick sound check also helps if outdoor noise, a radio or machinery could cover the alert.

Once the hens are outside, keep a small buffer before the next job on your morning list. At this early hour, use those spare minutes to check the gate latch, water and shelter rather than starting something you cannot easily pause. That margin lets you finish the release calmly and still move on when the rest of the day begins to fill up.

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.
