About this calculator
The Sleep Calculator is a browser-based tool that helps you time sleep around 90-minute cycles. You enter a bedtime or wake-up time to plan around, and it applies 90-minute sleep-cycle timing to return the best times to fall asleep or wake. Everything runs locally — no sign-up, no uploads, nothing stored — so it stays fast and private.
Sleep-cycle timing is a helpful average, not a precise schedule — cycle length varies between people and nights. Total sleep and consistency usually matter more than hitting an exact minute.
How to use
- Choose whether you are planning a wake time or a bedtime.
- Enter that time using the time picker.
- Press Calculate to see cycle-aligned suggestions.
- Pick the option that gives you enough total sleep.

FAQ
How does the Sleep Calculator pick times?
It works in roughly 90-minute cycles and adds about 14 minutes to fall asleep, then lists options that let you wake near the end of a cycle.
Should I plan by bedtime or wake time?
If your morning is fixed, plan by wake time to find bedtimes. If your evening is fixed, set a bedtime to see good wake times.
How many sleep cycles do I need?
Most adults do well with five to six cycles, about 7.5 to 9 hours, though individual needs vary with age and lifestyle.
Does the Sleep Calculator send my data to a server?
No. The Sleep Calculator runs entirely in your browser — your inputs never leave your device, and nothing is uploaded or stored.
Worked example
