Sleep Calculator
Wake up refreshed by timing your sleep to complete full 90-minute cycles.
How Sleep Cycles Work
Sleep happens in 90-minute cycles. Each cycle includes light sleep, deep sleep, and REM (dream) sleep. Waking up in the middle of a cycle leaves you feeling groggy, while waking up between cycles feels natural and refreshed.
The Science
- Average sleep cycle: 90 minutes
- Recommended cycles per night: 5-6 cycles (7.5-9 hours)
- Time to fall asleep: ~15 minutes for most people
Tips for Better Sleep
- Keep a consistent sleep schedule, even on weekends
- Avoid screens for 30+ minutes before bed
- Keep your room cool (65-68°F / 18-20°C)
- Limit caffeine after 2pm
- Exercise regularly, but not too close to bedtime
