How it works
A simple estimate, with room for real life
Sleep Better Timer works backward from your desired wake-up time, or forward from the moment you plan to sleep. It uses an approximate 90-minute sleep cycle and your chosen fall-asleep time to show several options.
The longer options are highlighted first because they offer more time asleep. Your own sleep can move differently from night to night, so use the results as a planning aid rather than a promise.
A quiet pause
Try 3 minutes of slow breathing before bed.
No score and no perfect rhythm. Let your breathing become a little softer.
Good to know
Questions, answered softly
Are sleep cycles exactly 90 minutes?
No. Ninety minutes is a convenient planning estimate, while real sleep cycles vary by person and across the night. Treat the results as a few possible windows, not exact targets.
Does time to fall asleep count?
Yes. The calculator adds or subtracts your selected wind-down-to-sleep estimate, with 15 minutes as the default.
Which result should I choose?
When your schedule allows it, the longer options provide more sleep opportunity. The shorter options are shown for context, not as a routine recommendation.
