Sleep Calculator
Find the best bedtimes or wake-up times based on 90-minute sleep cycles.

Formula
- One sleep cycle ≈ 90 minutes
- Aim for 5 or 6 complete cycles (7.5–9 hours)
Waking at the end of a cycle, in light sleep, feels far better than waking mid-cycle even after more total sleep. Count backwards from your alarm in 90-minute blocks and add the time it takes you to drop off.
