Sleep Cycle Calculator

Sleep runs in roughly 90-minute cycles, and waking at the end of a cycle feels much better than waking mid-cycle. Enter the time you need to wake up and this calculator gives four bedtimes that land on whole cycles.

\u2014Bedtime — 3 cycles (4.5 h)
\u2014Bedtime — 4 cycles (6 h)
\u2014Bedtime — 5 cycles (7.5 h)
\u2014Bedtime — 6 cycles (9 h)

How to use

  1. Enter the time you need to wake up (24-hour format).
  2. Click Calculate to see four bedtime options.
  3. Pick the bedtime that gives you 5 or 6 full cycles.
