Set Alarm for 4:45 AM

Four forty-five AM is intentional. It nets you a quiet, 75-minute buffer before a typical 6:00 shift, enough to wake, hydrate, and button up your day.

This exact minute matters because your brain needs a calm ramp, not a sprint. You avoid last-minute chaos and sprinting for coffee. The buffer gives you a predictable start, with time for a quick plan, a short glance at your schedule, and a first focused block. Runs in your browser. Sound may require a click/tap to activate.

This 4:45 routine is built to land you at a productive 6:00 start.

• Drink 16 ounces of cold water the moment the alarm stops.
• Open the curtains and switch on a 3000K light for 5 minutes to cue sunrise.
• Move for 4 minutes: 10 hip hinges, 10 arm circles, 10 leg swings.
• Pack your bag and lay out clothes for an 8-minute, frictionless prep.

Optional and not medical advice.

If you want to align with sleep cycles, target about 7.5 hours of sleep for a 4:45 AM wake. That means aiming to be in bed by around 9:15 PM. If your rhythm runs shorter or longer, adjust by 15-minute increments.

Alarms rely on your device/browser time zone. Keep this tab open to ensure the alarm stays synced with your clock. If you travel or change time zones, verify your device clock and re-check the page.
