About this alarm
A common time for bakers, delivery drivers and anyone commuting to a 6 AM start. When oversleeping would cost you a shift, a second alarm in another tab ten minutes later is cheap insurance.
An early start, before most of the day begins. This is the slot people use for flights, gym sessions and quiet work before anyone else is up, and it is the one where a backup alarm on your phone is genuinely worth setting too.
Need a different time? Change the hour, minute or AM/PM above - you can set any minute of the day, and this page stays put. The online alarm clock works exactly the same way.
What time to go to bed for a 4:30 AM alarm
| Go to bed at | Sleep | 90-min units (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 7:15 PM | 9 hours | 6 |
| 8:45 PM | 7 hours 30 minutes | 5 |
| 10:15 PM | 6 hours | 4 |
Each bedtime is worked backward from the alarm time: 15 minutes to fall asleep, then whole 90-minute blocks. Actual sleep cycles and how much sleep you need vary from person to person, and waking up every 90 minutes doesn't guarantee an easier wake-up - treat these times as a starting point, not a guarantee.
