FAQ
- How does the sleep calculator work?
- A full sleep cycle lasts about 90 minutes. The calculator counts back or forward in 90-minute blocks so your alarm lands at the end of a cycle rather than mid-cycle.
- How many sleep cycles do I need?
- Most adults need five to six complete cycles per night, roughly 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep, plus about 15 minutes to fall asleep.
- Why do I wake up tired even after 8 hours?
- Waking in the middle of a deep-sleep stage causes grogginess. Aligning your alarm with the end of a cycle helps you wake more easily.
