Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Sleep Calculator

1

How does the sleep calculator work?

Our calculator uses the science of sleep cycles, which typically last 90-110 minutes. It calculates optimal bedtime or wake-up times to ensure you complete full sleep cycles and wake up during lighter sleep phases.

2

Why is waking up at the right time important?

Waking up mid-cycle, especially during deep sleep or REM stages, can cause sleep inertia - that groggy, disoriented feeling that can last 30+ minutes. Our calculator helps you avoid this.

3

How many sleep cycles do I need?

Most adults benefit from 4-6 complete sleep cycles, which translates to about 7-9 hours of sleep. The exact number depends on your age, health, and individual needs.

4

What if I can't stick to the recommended times?

Consistency is key for good sleep hygiene. Try to stick to the recommended schedule as closely as possible, even on weekends, to maintain your circadian rhythm.

5

Is this suitable for all ages?

While the calculator works for adults, children and teenagers need more sleep. Newborns need 14-17 hours, toddlers need 11-14 hours, and teens need 8-10 hours per day.

6

Can this help with sleep disorders?

Our calculator is a helpful tool for optimizing sleep schedules, but it's not a replacement for medical advice. If you have persistent sleep issues, consult a healthcare provider.
