Bedtime calculator

I'm going to have to try this

Seriously? How hard is it to figure out the time to go to bed or wake up?

One of the beauties of retirement is, most of the time, I don't have to worry about any of that. I go to bed when I get sleepy and get up when I wake up. When I still worked for a living (shudder gasp), I had a set time to go to bed and to get up.

Max is a good alarm Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner time (his - no chance of sleeping if his dish is empty)

Oh yes, animals have excellent, built-in clocks!

Yepperz, when we sleep in (on the weekends), our cat comes up about 1/2 after the time we normally feed him & walks all over us until we get up & give him food.

There; fixed it.

I used to be a party animal, then old age caught up with me.

You have to run faster or old age will catch up - don't sit down to rest on that park bench

I used to be a party animal, but I grew tired of falling down. Now I'm older and I fall down anyway - should have kept partying!

i think the calulator works it so that it can calculate for you to awake during an REM state, waking in the deeper sleep state can make you feel sleepy and drowsy when you wake rather than springing out of bed fully refreshed from a good night sleep.

good find steph.

edit,
i see the calculator explains it when you actually try it

Sadly, old age was faster than me.

Well I don't have to get up any particular time now I'm retired but I do need to be up on a Friday and I've just put the time I need into it and it showed me that I need to go to sleep at the time I do settle down anyway.

I still find it hard to believe someone would need an app to tell them what time to hit the rack to get however many hours of sleep they need by the time they need to wake up. Math was my worst subject in school (and that was half a century ago) and even I can figure it out in a few second.

I never heard of setting a clock for a time to sleep.

 

[A Guy]

If I wake up for work, cycle or not, I have to get up and go

its not about the amount of sleep you get but the state you awake from it.
if you wake in a deep ram sleep from the alarm ringing then you will be sleepy,groggy and just still tired.
if you awake naturally without an alarm clock you will have awoken in the correct sleep state. refreshed!

the idea of the sleep calculator is to calculate when is the best time to go to bed so the cycle will end when your alarm is due to wake you,thus waking you during the natural cycle that wakes you refreshed.

its not about going to bed at a sensible time so you get a good nights sleep. we can all do that and still wake groggy.
its about waking during the correct cycle, you can still feel refreshed on much less hours sleep if you catch the cycle right.

actually ,this page here explains it far better than i can...
