About the Sleep Calculator
This sleep calculator helps you optimize your sleep by suggesting bedtimes or wake-up times that align with your natural sleep cycles. By waking up at the end of a 90-minute sleep cycle, you're more likely to feel refreshed and avoid grogginess.
How Sleep Cycles Work
Sleep is divided into several stages, cycling through light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep. Each full cycle takes approximately 90 minutes. Waking up during a light sleep stage, rather than deep sleep, can significantly improve how you feel upon waking.
