Hours until every day of the week
Each count runs to midnight at the start of that day.
How the hours are counted
Your clock supplies the starting point, and midnight at the start of Friday supplies the end. The page rounds the hours down and shows the minutes separately underneath.
A visit on Friday does not return zero. The page counts to the next one instead, because today began at midnight. The result is a little under 168 hours.
Midnight is local. When Friday begins in Sydney, it is still the day before in Los Angeles. Two readers see two counts on the same page.
Counting down to the weekend
A countdown to Friday is often a countdown to rest. The tiles below show the wait to Friday evening, to Saturday and the full length of a weekend.
A full week has 168 hours. The working week, Monday to Friday from 9 to 5, uses 40 of them.

Using the hours count
Days are too coarse for some jobs. When a deadline falls at the start of Friday, hours tell you whether to finish tonight or sleep first.
The minutes and seconds tiles update while the page is open. They use the same target, so they agree with the large figure once rounded down.
A day count is on the first tile. The strip marks Friday and, if today is in the same week, marks today as well.
The same Friday can be counted in hours, days, weeks or sleeps. This page covers the first, and the related links cover the rest.
An evening on Friday is a long way past the target. The table above gives hours to common times on that day.
Friday plans and the hours before them
Friday is the day many offices wind down early. The table above shows the time to a 9 AM start, to lunch and to the end of the work day. It also covers dinner and night plans.
If you leave early, subtract the extra hours from the figure for the 5 PM row. The count to the start of Saturday stays the same, because it is measured from midnight.
Counting in hours
Whether you are packing for a trip or swapping a shift, hours give a clear gap. They are the natural unit between a few and a few hundred.
The large number is worked out from your clock when the page loads, and it drops by one each hour. The live line beneath it ticks every second.
Treat the figure to Friday as a budget. Spend some on sleep, some on rest and some on work, and you can see at once whether the plan fits.
Agree what Friday means before you start. A deadline at its beginning is hours earlier for a team in the east than for one in the west.
A glance at the strip tells you how many days are left. Multiply by 24 to get close to the hours, then check against the main figure.
Questions people ask
Does the count run to Friday morning or Friday evening?
It runs to midnight, when Friday begins. For a later time on Friday, add the hours from the table above to the figure at the top.
How many hours are in a week?
There are 168 hours in a week, which is 7 days of 24 hours. A working week of 9 to 5 uses 40 of them.
If today is Friday, what does the page show?
Today is not counted, so it points at the following Friday. The hours shown are close to a full week.
How many hours from Monday 9 AM to Friday?
Take the full days from Monday morning to Friday, multiply by 24, then correct for the hour. Or read the 9 AM row, which gives it from now.
