Sleep Cycle Calculator

Choose the time you need to wake up, and we’ll suggest bedtimes that let you finish full sleep cycles.

Good to know

  • A sleep cycle averages about 90 minutes, but it varies between people and through the night.
  • We add about 15 minutes for falling asleep.
  • Most adults need 7 or more hours a night. Five or six cycles is a good target.
  • If you regularly feel unrefreshed despite enough sleep, talk to your doctor.
