Discover your ideal bedtime and supercharge your health. Align your body clock with our circadian rhythm calculator to feel better and perform your best.
B = Wake-up Time - Sleep Duration - Sleep Onset Latency
The circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle and repeats roughly every 24 hours. It is controlled by the brain's suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and is influenced by external cues such as light and temperature.
To determine optimal bedtime (B
), use:
B = W - D
Where:
W
= Desired Wake-up TimeD
= Desired Sleep Duration (in hours)If sleep onset latency (SOL) is known, adjust the formula:
B = W - D - SOL
Typical SOL ranges from 15 to 30 minutes (0.25–0.5 hours).
Your natural chronotype affects how early or late your body prefers to sleep. Use the calculator with these considerations:
