FAQ

How does the sleep cycle calculator work?

It calculates optimal sleep times in 90-minute cycle increments plus 15 minutes average time needed to fall asleep.

Why do 90-minute sleep cycles matter?

Waking up mid-cycle during deep sleep causes grogginess (sleep inertia), whereas waking up between cycles leaves you feeling naturally alert.
