Online alarm clock for 1:54 am

You are just waking at 1:54 am, with the nets still to check before the tide runs out in the Bay of Islands. Give yourself a moment to get oriented, then use the few minutes before 2:00 am to pull on a warm layer, find your torch and gather the gear you will carry down to the water.

Because the alarm is set only a short while ahead, keep this page running and prevent your phone or laptop from falling asleep before it sounds. A closed browser page or sleeping device means no alarm will send you out to check the nets. Leave the sound turned up, disconnect headphones you are not wearing, and place the device where the alert will be audible while you get ready.

Heading outside from an air-conditioned room can make the night air feel unexpectedly different, even during a warm spell. Set the temperature so you are comfortable while waking, but keep your outdoor layer within reach rather than judging conditions from indoors. At this hour, pack a drink before leaving and switch off the air conditioner once your tide-checking gear is ready.
