Going to bed for a 9:02 am alarm

Asleep by 11:47 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
Asleep by 1:17 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
Asleep by 2:47 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

Getting out the door for the school run or the commute into the city gets easier when 9:02 am is locked in properly. Choose a sound, hit start, and this browser alarm will ring at 9:02 am whether you're upstairs making lunches or still half asleep. Just keep the tab open so it has a chance to go off.

Start by selecting a tone from the dropdown, then hit Start to lock it in. From that point the page does the counting, and it'll ring once the time is reached, but only if the tab is still open somewhere on your device. Closing it, or the browser entirely, cancels the alarm.

Because this runs in the browser rather than on the phone's operating system, it sidesteps silent mode and do-not-disturb entirely, useful if your phone alarm has ever failed to go off for exactly that reason. Just be aware it needs the tab open and the screen or laptop lid to stay on to actually ring. On a 24-hour clock 9:02 am is written 09:02, and spoken aloud it's two minutes past nine in the morning. You'll also see it written 9.02 am — a full stop instead of the colon means the same time. Set an alarm for 9:02 am, set the alarm to 9:02 am, set my alarm for 9:02 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.

Common questions

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.

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.
