Many of us wake up in the morning feeling groggy and the very opposite of refreshed. Science been telling us for quite some time that our bodies need full sleep cycles to ensure we're properly rested. Waking up mid-way through a sleep cycle can lead to a horrific day. 

While what the scientists say sounds great, it can be difficult to know if you've made it through a full sleep cycle and when one should set their alarm. Enter Sleepyti.me...

Sleepyti.me works by counting backwards in sleep cycles. Even if you only have time for a short nap, using this site ensures that you wake up refreshed and ready to go! Insert what time you need to wake up at and the site will tell you when you should aim to be asleep by.

According to Slepyti.me, it takes an average person around 14 minutes to fall asleep and 5 to 6 full sleep cycles are needed to qualify as a good night's sleep. 

Sleepyti.me tries to address the concept of sleep inertia by waking you up in between sleep cycles. Although it's not an exact calculation, the basic idea is that waking up from a light sleep is easier to do than waking up from a deep sleep — which makes sense, when you think about it!
