Calculadora de Ciclos de Sueño para Acostarse y Despertar

Calcula la mejor hora para acostarte o despertar alineada con tus ciclos de sueño de 90 minutos, incluyendo el tiempo para conciliar el sueño. Incluye recomendador de duración de siesta.

Adultos: 90 min. Niños: 60. Algunos adultos varían entre 80 y 100.
Horas recomendadas para acostarte
La mayoría de los adultos necesita 5–6 ciclos (7,5–9 h). Elige la hora más tardía que puedas.

Cómo funciona el cálculo

El sueño avanza por ciclos de ~90 minutos (ligero → profundo → REM). Despertar al final de un ciclo te deja alerta; despertar a mitad de ciclo (sobre todo en sueño profundo) es lo que produce el aturdimiento.

A partir de una hora de despertar objetivo, la calculadora resta 4, 5, 6 o 7 ciclos y añade la latencia para dormirte. A partir de una hora de acostarte, añade los ciclos después de la latencia.

Cómo funciona el cálculo

Sleep is modelled as whole repetitions of a fixed cycle length. In the wake-time mode the tool subtracts n × cycle plus your fall-asleep latency from the target; in the two bedtime modes it adds latency first and then n × cycle. It evaluates n = 6, 5, 4 and 3, listing all four with their total hours and highlighting the 5-cycle row as the headline answer. Defaults are a 90-minute cycle and 15 minutes of latency.

Cycle length is the input people should change and rarely do. It accepts 60 to 120 minutes in five-minute steps, and its own help note offers 90 for adults, 60 for children and 80–100 for adults who run long or short. Fall-asleep latency accepts 0 to 60 minutes and shifts every result by that amount — if you routinely lie awake half an hour, leaving it at 15 puts each suggested bedtime thirty minutes too late.

Treat the output as rough targets rather than appointments. Ninety minutes is a population average that also drifts across the night, with early cycles shorter and later REM-heavy ones longer, so real boundaries wander away from any exact multiple. Nothing here models sleep debt, chronotype, caffeine, alcohol or night-time wake-ups, and the bed-now option reads your device clock, assuming you begin falling asleep at this moment.

Preguntas frecuentes

Is 7.5 hours better than 8 if it lands on a cycle boundary?

That is the premise this tool encodes: five 90-minute cycles is 7.5 hours and gets highlighted over six. In practice total sleep matters more than boundary alignment, so do not trade away real sleep just to reach a tidier number.

What should I set fall-asleep latency to?

Whatever you genuinely take, not the 15-minute default. The field accepts anything from 0 to 60 minutes and moves every suggested time by exactly that much. If you regularly need 30 minutes, the default leaves each bedtime half an hour too late.

Why does it highlight 5 cycles instead of 6?

Five cycles at the default 90 minutes is 7.5 hours, the low end of the usual adult range, so that is the row marked as the headline suggestion. Six cycles, a full 9 hours, is still listed if you have the time available.

Do sleep cycles really last exactly 90 minutes?

No. Ninety is an average; individuals commonly run 80 to 100, and cycles lengthen through the night as REM takes a larger share. The Cycle length field accepts 60 to 120 minutes so you can fit a pattern closer to your own.

How long should a nap be to avoid waking up groggy?

The reference table gives four options: 10–20 minutes for alertness with no grogginess, 30 minutes for more rest with some sleep inertia, 60 minutes for a memory boost at the cost of roughly 10 groggy minutes, and 90 for one complete cycle.
