Sleeping backwards from 8:00 AM
Waking mid-cycle is what makes an alarm feel brutal. Working back from 8:00 AM in 90-minute blocks — plus a quarter of an hour to drop off — gives these targets.
| 10:46 PM (the night before) | 6 sleep cycles | 9 hours of sleep |
| 12:16 AM | 5 sleep cycles | 7.5 hours of sleep |
| 1:46 AM | 4 sleep cycles | 6 hours of sleep |
These are planning figures, not medical advice — cycle length varies between people and from night to night.

Will this 8:00 AM alarm work if I close the tab?
No. The alarm runs in the page, so the tab has to stay open, though it can be in the background and it keeps working without an internet connection once loaded. Bookmark the page and the 8:00 AM setting is restored when you open it again.
