Going to bed for a 5:15 am alarm

  • Asleep by 8:00 pm — 6 full sleep cycles, about 9 hours
  • Asleep by 9:30 pm — 5 full sleep cycles, about 7 hours
  • Asleep by 11:00 pm — 4 full sleep cycles, about 6 hours

A sleep cycle runs about 90 minutes, and most people take around 15 minutes to drop off. Waking at the end of a cycle feels easier than waking in the middle of one.

Online alarm clock for 5:15 am

While you watch the clock for the moment to leave, set the alarm for 5:15 am so the early Cook Strait ferry does not slip from a quiet morning into a rushed one. That gives you a clear cue to gather your jacket, keys and sailing details before 6:00 am, whether you are heading towards Wellington’s terminal or checking in from the Picton side.

Your ferry alarm depends on the browser still being active when 5:15 am arrives. A browser alarm cannot wake a phone that has gone to sleep or keep running after its page is closed, so the ferry departure could be missed without another alert. Keep this page open, leave the phone awake and connected to power, and set a separate phone alarm if the sailing cannot wait. Check the volume now rather than relying on the last setting you remember.

Before settling down to wait, arrange enough light to recognise your clothes and travel papers without flooding the room at 5:15 am. Place a small lamp within reach, dim the screen, and keep the route to the door clear. Early light around Wellington or Picton can change with cloud and season, so prepare for darkness indoors even if dawn is beginning outside.
