How this calculator works

Start with either a wake-up time or a bedtime. The calculator adds your estimated time to fall asleep and maps the night into 90-minute cycles. It then highlights the option closest to your sleep goal and builds a practical routine around it.

Sleep latency

Your usual time to fall asleep is added as a buffer.

Sleep cycles

The MVP uses 4, 5, and 6 cycle options.

Routine timing

The wind-down plan starts before your recommended bedtime.
