Sleep Cycle Calculator illustration

Sleep Cycle Calculator

Suggests bedtimes for a chosen wake-up time (or wake times for a bedtime) aligned to full sleep cycles, so the alarm lands between cycles instead of in deep sleep.

90 is the adult average; real cycles run roughly 80–110 minutes.

Notes

  • A night of 5 cycles (7.5 h of sleep) or 6 cycles (9 h) suits most adults; consistently needing under 4 is a sign to go to bed earlier, not to optimize the alarm.
  • Cycle length is an average — treat the suggested times as ±15 minute windows, not precise targets.
  • This is an educational estimate, not medical advice; consult a professional for decisions about your health.
