    Frequently asked questions

    How does the sleep calculator work?▾

    Sleep runs in cycles of about 90 minutes. Waking at the end of a cycle, in light sleep, usually feels easier than waking in deep sleep. The calculator counts back (or forward) whole cycles from your time and adds the minutes you need to fall asleep.

    What time should I go to bed to wake up at 7 AM?▾

    With 15 minutes to fall asleep: 9:45 PM for 6 cycles (9 h), 11:15 PM for 5 cycles (7.5 h), or 12:45 AM for 4 cycles (6 h). Most adults should aim for 5–6 cycles.

    How much sleep do I need?▾

    The National Sleep Foundation recommends 7–9 hours for adults, 8–10 for teens, 9–11 for school-age children and 7–8 for adults over 65.

    Is every sleep cycle exactly 90 minutes?▾

    No — cycles range from about 80 to 120 minutes and vary through the night, so treat the times as a helpful guide and adjust by 10–15 minutes if you still wake up groggy.
