http://epguides.com - Whenever I need to look up episode names or air dates of a TV show, this little site has done the job for decades.

I type the address, followed by the name of a show (usually only lowercase alphabetical characters, and without 'the'), and I get exactly I want. E.g. epguides.com/xfiles

It looks almost exactly the same as it did back in 2000 at least (https://web.archive.org/web/20000815203907/http://www.epguid...), and has been kept up-to-date ever since.

http://www.sleepyti.me - a calculator to let you know when to set your alarm in the morning to maximize your chances of waking up feeling refreshed / not breaking a REM cycle

The Pebble smartwatch has a feature like this as well. It tracks your sleep pattern and when you're not in deep sleep and your alarm is coming up within half an hour it'll start vibrating.

For someone who's very hard to wake up it seems to work well.

Oh, I remember this site. A shame that I didn't buy in earlier for the lifetime subscription.
