How the calculation works

Wake time = bedtime + time to fall asleep + cycles × 90 minutes. Bedtime reverses this calculation.

Worked example

Bed at 23:00 with 15 minutes to fall asleep gives 06:45 next day for 7.5 hours asleep.

Assumptions and limits

Sleep cycles vary and are not reliably fixed at 90 minutes. These are planning options, not guaranteed optimal wake times. The options allow 7.5 or 9 hours of sleep.
