Wake-Up Time Calculator
Calculate ideal wake-up times from your bedtime
FAQs
Why do I feel tired even after 8 hours of sleep?
You might be waking in the middle of a sleep cycle. Waking at cycle boundaries can feel more refreshing than a strict hour target.
Should I use 5 or 6 sleep cycles?
Most adults do well with 5-6 cycles (about 7.5 to 9 hours including fall-asleep time), but individual needs vary.
How to Use the Wake-Up Time Calculator

Sleep Cycle Logic
Wake Time
Wake = Sleep time + 15 min + (n × 90 min)
Add fall-asleep time plus whole 90-minute cycles.
Example:
Input: asleep 11:00, 5 cycles
Calculation: 11:00 + 15min + 450min
Result: ≈ 6:45 AM
