Using the Sleep Calculator
Waking up feeling groggy is often a result of being interrupted during a deep sleep phase. This calculator uses 90-minute sleep cycles to find the ideal moments for you to wake up or drift off, ensuring you feel refreshed.
How it Works
1
Select your target "Wake Up Time" to find out when you should go to bed.
2
Alternatively, use the "If I go to bed now" feature to find the best wake-up windows.
3
Review the 4-6 suggested times that correspond to full 90-minute cycles.
4
Aim for 5 or 6 cycles (7.5 to 9 hours) for peak mental performance.
