Sleep Calculator — A full sleep cycle is about 90 minutes long, going through light sleep, deep sleep, and REM. Waking up in the middle of a deep-sleep phase is what causes the grogginess and disorientation known as "sleep inertia." Waking at the end of a cycle — when sleep is naturally lightest — is much easier.

¿Qué es Sleep Calculator?
A full sleep cycle is about 90 minutes long, going through light sleep, deep sleep, and REM. Waking up in the middle of a deep-sleep phase is what causes the grogginess and disorientation known as "sleep inertia." Waking at the end of a cycle — when sleep is naturally lightest — is much easier.
Most adults need 5 full cycles (about 7.5 hours of sleep) per night. Some do fine on 4 cycles (6 hours), and a few people genuinely need 6 cycles (9 hours). The tool shows all four options so you can pick what works for your schedule.
