Going to bed for a 9:14 am alarm

  • Asleep by 11:59 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 1:29 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 2:59 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

An alarm for 9:14 am works well as a backup for anyone who's slept through a phone alarm before: on a desk, on a laptop, wherever the tab's open. Set it, pick a sound you'll actually hear over the kettle, and it'll go off at 9:14 am sharp.

There's a short list of sounds to choose from before you press Start — pick one that suits how deep a sleeper you are. Once it's set, the page keeps time in the background of your browser, and it'll sound at the moment you selected, provided the tab hasn't been closed.

Compared to a phone, this alarm has one job and nothing else competing for attention — no messages, no app switching. It's free and doesn't ask for sign-up, but it only works while the tab is open and the device stays awake, so it suits daytime use at a desk better than an overnight bedroom alarm. On a 24-hour clock 9:14 am is written 09:14, and spoken aloud it's fourteen minutes past nine in the morning. Written the Australian way that's 9.14 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 9:14am. Setting the alarm to 9:14 am tomorrow morning works the same way: if the time has gone for today, the count runs through to it.

Common questions

Is this alarm accurate across daylight saving time?

It uses your device's local clock, so as long as your computer's time and date settings are correct, it'll adjust automatically when daylight saving time starts or ends.

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.
