About this tool
Ideal Bedtime Calculator works backwards from your alarm. Enter the time you need to wake and how long you usually take to fall asleep, and it shows bedtimes for 4, 5 and 6 sleep cycles of about 90 minutes each — so you're more likely to wake between cycles, not in the middle of one.
Cycle length varies from person to person, so treat it as a guide. Most adults are advised to aim for about 7–9 hours.
Who it's for
Plan bedtime.
Exam mornings.
Odd schedules.
Tips & tricks
- Aim for five or six cycles.
- Keep the same wake time daily.
- Screens off before bed.
