About this alarm
One of the most common weekday wake-up times, especially for school runs and early starts. It gives you a full hour before most morning commutes begin.
The standard wake-up window. Pick a sound you will actually hear from across the room, use Test sound once before you go to bed, and leave this tab open overnight with the screen-awake option on if the device allows it.
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 6 AM alarm
| Go to bed at | Sleep | 90-min units (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 8:45 PM | 9 hours | 6 |
| 10:15 PM | 7 hours 30 minutes | 5 |
| 11:45 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.
