How to use the online alarm clock
Pause what you are doing long enough to set a 10:05 pm alarm for tomorrow’s shift, then you can finish up and head to bed. With 11:00 pm still ahead, setting it now removes one loose end before the evening disappears into another task. Check that 10:05 pm is the time you actually need to wake, rather than the time your shift begins, and allow for washing, dressing, breakfast and the journey across Dubai.
Once your shift alarm is set, this page can stay behind the app or page you are using while you wrap up. A background browser page may be slowed by the phone, so keep this alarm session active and confirm that sound is allowed. The alarm cannot get you ready for tomorrow’s shift if its browser session has ended or your phone has gone into sleep mode; use the phone’s built-in alarm as a backup when waking on time affects work.
Before leaving your current task, lower the screen brightness to suit the room and switch to a warmer display setting if your phone offers one. At 10:05 pm, a bright screen against a dark bedroom can feel harsh on the eyes and make small controls harder to check comfortably. Read the displayed alarm time once, set the phone down, and keep the route from the bed clear for an early UAE workday.
Common questions
Can I use the same feature on a phone?
You can use the page on a smartphone and follow the countdown until 10:05 pm. The browser may lose permission to stay active once the phone locks or another app takes over, which can suppress the audio, so a mains-powered desktop or laptop is the more reliable choice when the reminder is important.
Will the alarm still sound after I close this tab?
No. An alarm set for 10:05 pm runs within the open webpage, so closing its tab or exiting the browser stops it. You can move to another tab or minimise the browser while you work; just keep the alarm page loaded.
If I close the tab, will the alarm still go off?
Closing the tab cancels the alarm because the timer for 10:05 pm is handled by that page, not by your device as a separate system alarm. Leaving the page open in the background is fine, even if another tab is on screen.
Does closing the browser tab stop the alarm from ringing?
The page must remain open for the 10:05 pm alarm to sound. Switching tabs, minimising the window, or using another application will not end it, but closing the alarm tab or quitting the browser will.
