About a 8:15 am alarm

An 8 am alarm works for flexible hours, remote working and weekend mornings. Streets are already busy by this time, so there is little benefit in waking later on a commuting day. A quarter-past time gives you a small buffer when you want a few extra minutes before a half-hour appointment. Many people choose it to avoid the crowd of alarms that go off on the hour, and it suits anyone who needs a slow, unhurried first fifteen minutes to get moving.

In London the sun is already up at 8:15 am in every month. It is still dark, or already dark, at that time in none.
