This is great. I have used REM cycle quanta to set my nap times for decades and it has made an enormous difference. My gf’s prolonged use of alarm “snooze” is, imho, a dangerous antipattern.
Thanks! I'm glad it is a useful tool

#102This is really cool and nicely made! Congratulations! I'm assuming you don't have years of programming experience (feel free to correct me!) which makes it even more impressive when looking at the things you got right. This include the idea/functionality, layout, source and that cool Moon animation! I would suggest improving a couple of things: 1) defaults: a) some people don't like pickers (especially this "modern"…
Thanks for the in-depth feedback! I really appreciate it and will look into the issues you found with the app.

#103Nice work! I really like that i could drag the minute hand on the clock and it "snap" to the 30 minute value. That's a small but important touch. This is a simple and straightforward. Don't bloat up the site too much and this will be a great project to show off and easy to maintain. Keep building stuff like this :)
Thanks! Sounds good

#104I've recently started going to bed at 2000-2100 and it's nice to not need to worry about this stuff anymore. I start work at ~0800 and I'm usually awake from 0400-0600 so I never risk oversleeping, and my body gets as much sleep as necessary. I'm also a morning person, so using the first two hours of the day to work on personal projects or stuff I want to learn is working out well. I guess my professional work can su…
I see, thanks for the comment :)
Re: Show HN: I'm 15 and made a bedtime calculator with React JavaScript
#105Does your site explain how to calculate ones own sleep cycle? I couldn't find it, and it's a simple trick I learned from a teacher many years ago. Just choose an evening where you wait until you're feeling sleepy but don't go to bed, start a timer, stay up and after 20 minutes or so you'll start becoming less sleepy. It might help to do something like watching a video program or playing a game. After a while you'll s…
Wow that's interesting, thanks for the tip

#106I started playing with computers when I was that age. That was 40 years ago. Still play but also get paid for it :)
Wow, that's interesting.

#107Nice idea. The clocks are one hour off here: the text says 00:55 but the clock shows 11:55 pm, and so on.
Oh I'll look into it, thanks!

#108My two best changes for my sleep quality and restfulness were waking up very early (normally between 4 and 5), and usually sleeping for only 6h (7.5 when especially tired). I add 20 minutes as buffer to fall asleep. My Alarm Clock lets me choose between setting an alarm at a certain time, as usual, but also for a certain time span. I have it preset to the time span, so I just enter 6h20m (which is normally already pi…
Nice, I see.

#109Website: Since it usually takes around 15 minutes to fall asleep Me with a sleeping disorder: lol (No offence, awesome product!, but I can't use it)
Lol thanks no worries

#110I thought sleep cycle length is variable to an extent. I once calculated my own to be around 110 minutes per cycle, rather than 90 minutes. Using that as a base for calculating bed time has worked well for me. If cycle length variability is indeed a thing, it would be an interesting parameter to add to the calculator. Thanks for sharing!
I'll look into it, thanks so much!
