Sleep Cycle Calculator
This tool helps you wake at the end of a full sleep cycle rather than mid-deep-sleep. Each cycle averages 90 minutes (N1 → N2 → N3 → REM, repeating). Waking between cycles — when you're already in light sleep — typically feels less groggy than waking from deep sleep mid-cycle. Most adults benefit from 5–6 full cycles (7.5–9 hours), per NSF and AASM guidelines.
How the visualization works
The 24-hour clock shows your sleep window as a colored arc. Each cycle boundary is marked with a thin tick. The BED and WAKE markers show entry and exit points. Pick from the cards below — they show options for 3, 4, 5, and 6 cycles. The 15-minute buffer for falling asleep is already added in. The center of the clock shows total sleep time for the option you're hovering.
