Wake me up at 1:18 PM
“Wake me up at 1:18 PM”, “alarm for 1:18 in the afternoon” and “set alarm for 1:18 PM tomorrow” all mean this page. The green button arms the alarm for the next 1:18 PM, today or tomorrow, whichever comes first. Tomorrow only sets it for tomorrow afternoon once and switches it off afterwards, so it will not ring again the day after. Either way it rings in this tab with sound, a full-screen stop button and snooze; how long until 1:20 PM shows the live countdown.
In Hindi and Urdu the same alarm is searched as “dopahar 1:18 baje ka alarm lagao”, “1:18 PM ka alarm laga do” or “mujhe dopahar 1:18 baje uthana”; this page is that alarm too, and the Hindi edition has the same tools.
When to go to bed for a 1:18 PM alarm
Sleep runs in cycles of roughly 90 minutes, and most adults take about 14 minutes to fall asleep. Waking at the end of a cycle feels far better than waking in the middle of one, so these bedtimes are counted back from 1:18 PM in whole cycles. Five or six cycles is the range most adults do well on.
| Fall asleep by | Sleep | 90-min cycles |
|---|---|---|
| 4:04 AM | 9 h | 6 · recommended |
| 5:34 AM | 7.5 h | 5 · recommended |
| 7:04 AM | 6 h | 4 |
| 8:34 AM | 4.5 h | 3 |

1:18 PM is an afternoon alarm
Afternoon alarms are mostly for naps, night-shift sleepers, school pick-ups, medication times and meetings. For a nap, either keep it to about 20 minutes or allow a full 90-minute cycle; waking in between tends to leave you groggy.
The countdown above shows how long you have from now, so you can decide whether a short nap or a full cycle fits.
Sunrise and your 1:18 PM alarm
Waking in daylight is easier than waking in the dark. Check where 1:18 PM falls against sunrise where you are; the calculation runs in your browser and your location is not sent anywhere.

Tips for a 1:18 PM alarm
- Set it now, then press Test sound once at the volume you will sleep with. A silent-mode phone or a muted laptop is the number one reason alarms fail.
- Turn on night mode and place the screen where you can see it but not reach it. Standing up to stop the alarm ends the snooze loop.
- Leave this tab open. On desktop it rings from the background; on a phone keep it in the foreground with the screen on (this page keeps the screen awake).
- Use the bedtime table above rather than a fixed "eight hours"; waking at a cycle boundary matters more than the exact total.
