Sleep calculators – meaning

The basic premise of sleep calculators is to calculate how many hours of sleep you need to wake up not during nREM, but during REM. Thanks to this, we wake up when the body is stimulated. So he does not need to waste energy to get out of deep sleep, which gives him a feeling of freshness. As a result, we wake up refreshed and full of vitality.

The importance of sleep calculators is huge both for fully healthy people and for people with health difficulties. In both of these groups, they allow for an adequate amount of sleep at night, which translates into improved biopsychosocial functioning during the day.

Although not everyone is aware of it, sleep is as important for our bodies as physical activity or a properly balanced diet. Since we pay attention to the quantity and quality of these elements of life, the more we should think about sleep in the same categories. Especially since it is during sleep that our bodies and minds regenerate and enable us to survive the next day.

Therefore, sleep calculators remain an ideal solution for anyone who wants to take care of the quality of their sleep, and thus also their life. Maintaining the right amount of sleep allows us to enjoy health and burst with energy, and at the same time reduces the possibility of unpleasant ailments related to lack of sleep.

Sleep calculators – how it works

Commonly available sleep calculators are based on a simple algorithm. It assumes that healthy sleep always lasts for at least 4 full cycles, but not more than 6 full cycles. It is assumed that one sleep cycle lasts 90 minutes. However, it should end during the REM phase, i.e. during shallow sleep.

The algorithms of sleep calculators know that each of us begins sleep with the nREM phase divided into four stages, and ends with the REM phase responsible for fast-wave sleep. Advanced sleep calculators also take into account the fact that with each successive sleep cycle, the length of sleep phases changes.

Sleep calculators calculate how long after falling asleep we will be in the REM phase that allows us to wake up without feeling drowsy. They also take into account the time you go to bed and the time you fall asleep. Some sleep calculators also work the other way around, showing us what time we should fall asleep in order to wake up at a certain time.

Many sleep calculators calculate as many as three recommended times for falling asleep or waking up. They take into account that the right amount of sleep for a human is from 6 to 9 hours. So while being flexible, they show their calculation results based on minimum sleep (6 hours), average sleep (7.5 hours) and best sleep (9 hours).

There are also more advanced sleep calculators that take into account the fact that the need for sleep changes with age. They will be useful mainly when we want to use them for children or the elderly.
