Frequently Asked Questions

How does the sleep cycle calculator work?

Sleep occurs in 90-minute cycles. Waking up at the end of a cycle (rather than mid-cycle) makes you feel more rested. The calculator adds 14 minutes for average sleep onset.

How many sleep cycles should I get?

Most adults feel best with 5–6 full sleep cycles (7.5–9 hours). Teenagers need more β€” typically 6–8 cycles.

What time should I go to bed to wake up at 6am?

To wake at 6:00am feeling refreshed, go to sleep at 8:46pm, 10:16pm, 11:46pm, or 1:16am β€” each being a full number of 90-minute cycles before your wake time.
