Sleep cycle calculator

Find the best time to go to bed or wake up, based on 90-minute sleep cycles.

Go to bed at one of these times:

Ideal

—

6 cycles · 9.0 h of sleep

Great

—

5 cycles · 7.5 h of sleep

Short

—

4 cycles · 6.0 h of sleep

Emergency

—

3 cycles · 4.5 h of sleep

A sleep cycle lasts about 90 minutes. Waking at the end of a cycle, rather than in deep sleep, usually feels easier. We add 15 minutes for the average time it takes to fall asleep. Most adults need 7–9 hours, which is 5 to 6 cycles.
