Going to bed for a 9:15 am alarm

  • Asleep by 12:00 am — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 1:30 am — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 3:00 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

Uni lectures, gym sessions before work, or just a second alarm because the first one never works: 9:15 am is a popular time to want a backup. This rings from your browser at 9:15 am. No app store, no sign-up, just a tab that needs to stay open until it fires.

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.

The advantage of a browser alarm is volume and reliability at a desk: laptop speakers are often louder and easier to hear across a room than a phone left in a bag. The catch is that it depends entirely on the tab staying open; if the browser closes or the laptop sleeps, the alarm won't fire. On a 24-hour clock 9:15 am is written 09:15, and spoken aloud it's quarter past nine in the morning. Written the Australian way that's 9.15 am, and typed in a hurry it's often 9:15am. Set an alarm for 9:15 am, set the alarm to 9:15 am, set my alarm for 9:15 am — all of it lands on this page and does the same thing.

Common questions

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.

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.
