Find the best time to sleep or wake up based on 90-minute sleep cycles.
Best times to go to sleep
Why sleep cycles matter
A sleep cycle lasts about 90 minutes. Waking up at the end of a cycle (rather than in the middle of deep sleep) leaves you feeling more refreshed.
What is Sleep Calculator?
A sleep calculator recommends the best bedtime or wake-up time based on sleep cycles — each cycle lasts about 90 minutes.
Waking up at the end of a sleep cycle leaves you refreshed; waking mid-cycle leaves you groggy.
How does the Sleep Calculator work?
The calculator works backwards from your wake-up time, subtracting 90-minute cycles plus the time to fall asleep.
It suggests multiple bedtimes aligned with complete cycles.
How to use the Sleep Calculator?
- Enter your wake-up time (or bedtime).
- The calculator shows recommended bedtimes (or wake times) for 5-6 full sleep cycles.
