FAQ

What time should I go to bed? expand_more

The best bedtime depends on when you need to wake up. Our sleep calculator works backwards from your wake-up time in 90-minute sleep cycles. For example, if you wake at 7:00 AM, ideal bedtimes are 9:45 PM (6 cycles), 11:15 PM (5 cycles), or 12:45 AM (4 cycles). We add 15 minutes for the average time it takes to fall asleep.

How does a sleep cycle calculator work? expand_more

A sleep cycle calculator divides your night into 90-minute cycles. Each cycle includes light sleep, deep sleep, and REM stages. Waking at the end of a complete cycle helps you feel refreshed instead of groggy. Our calculator factors in a 15-minute sleep onset time and recommends 5–6 full cycles (7.5–9 hours) for optimal rest.

How many hours of sleep do I need? expand_more

Most adults need 7–9 hours of sleep per night, which equals 5–6 complete 90-minute cycles. However, sleep needs vary by age: newborns need 14–17 hours, teenagers need 8–10 hours, and seniors need 7–8 hours. Quality matters as much as quantity — waking at the right phase of your cycle is key.
