About a 5:45 am alarm
A 5 am alarm suits early commuters, shift workers heading for airports and anyone fitting exercise before work. It is before dawn for much of the year, so a lamp or a sunrise-style light helps. A quarter-to time gives you a short run-up to anything that starts on the hour. It suits people who prefer a quick start, such as a fast breakfast and an immediate commute, and it is often used by those who want the last possible moment of sleep without being late.
In London the sun is already up at 5:45 am in May, June, July and August. It is still dark, or already dark, at that time in January, February, March, April, September, October, November and December.
