How does it work?

The average human takes about 15 minutes to fall asleep and goes through 90-minute sleep cycles.

Waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle can leave you feeling tired and groggy (sleep inertia). Waking up at the end of a cycle helps you feel more refreshed and alert.

This calculator helps you time your sleep to complete 5 or 6 full cycles (7.5 to 9 hours of sleep).
