Online alarm clock for 12:04 am
Waking at 12:04 am, you need a moment to clear your head before heading out to take tide readings at Napier’s wharf. Set the alarm for the time you must get up, leaving enough room to dress, gather your notebook and torch, and reach the waterfront without rushing. If your work is planned around the next round hour, 1:00 am gives you a clear reference point for the reading.
Your tide check depends on hearing the alarm, so confirm where the sound will play before settling back down. Headphones can remain connected without you noticing, sending the alert into earpieces left on a desk or beside the bed. Disconnect them or test the alarm aloud at a low level. Because this browser alarm cannot wake you once the page is closed or the device goes to sleep, the tide reading could be missed; keep the page open, the device awake, and power connected.
Leaving for Napier’s waterfront after midnight can disturb other people in the house if equipment is gathered at the last minute. Put keys, warm layers, footwear and recording gear near the exit beforehand, then use a dim light and silence unrelated notifications. A gentle first alarm followed by a slightly later backup can help you get moving while limiting noise for anyone still asleep.
