Our Mission
At SleepHow, we believe everyone deserves restful, restorative sleep. We created this platform to make sleep science accessible and help people optimize their sleep schedules using evidence-based principles.
What We Do
SleepHow provides free, easy-to-use tools that help you calculate optimal sleep and wake times based on natural 90-minute sleep cycles. Our approach combines scientific research with practical application, making it simple to improve your sleep timing.

The Science Behind SleepHow
Our tools are based on well-established sleep research, particularly the understanding that sleep occurs in approximately 90-minute cycles. Each cycle includes different stages:
- Light sleep (stages 1 and 2)
- Deep sleep (stage 3)
- REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep
Waking up at the end of a complete cycle, rather than in the middle of deep sleep, can help you feel more refreshed and alert.
Why We Created SleepHow
In our fast-paced world, many people struggle with sleep timing and quality. While there's abundant information about sleep hygiene, fewer resources focus on the practical timing of sleep cycles. We saw an opportunity to bridge this gap with simple, science-based tools.
Accessibility
Free tools available to everyone, regardless of their background or financial situation.
Simplicity
Complex sleep science made easy to understand and apply in daily life.
Evidence-based
Grounded in peer-reviewed sleep research and scientific principles.
User-focused
Designed around real-world sleep challenges and practical solutions.
