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 picked from the night before) and I’m good to go.
What's the link to sleep sources? I hope this kid has found a way to make money out of this.
Ever wake up feeling groggy, even though you thought you had enough sleep? It turns out that by timing your wake up time based on REM cycles, you can wake up more refreshed and more productive. This got me thinking, why don't I put my front-end web development skills to the test and build a tool that will help people optimize their sleep schedule? So, I built a bedtime calculator with React JS, as well as some fancy…
I think the calculator itself isn't really useful, though I could be wrong. (The reason why I think it's not really useful is that I think the "90 minutes" cycles varies quite a lot between people, and the time between going to bed and to sleep can vary by half that length between people)
But what I really like, is that it is kinda (reasonably) click-baity, while it actually is a short, sourced, clean, no-ad, straight to the point, FAQ about sleep, which is useful to raise awareness of those issues.
You use the 12-hour AM/PM representation in the "I have to wake up at..." picker and in your text below that.
But the actual calculated bed time uses the (imo better) 24-hour format. This could lead to confusion, but at least is somewhat inconsistent.
