How we calculated it

How the calculation works

Enter the time you plan to lie down, how long you want to sleep, and the minutes you expect to need to fall asleep.

The planned end time is the start time plus your selected sleep duration plus time to fall asleep. Set your own alarm; this website does not trigger an alarm or keep a timer running.

A nap plan is an estimate, not a guarantee of sleep or alertness. Choose a duration that works for your schedule. If naps make nighttime sleep harder, consider their timing and length. Persistent daytime sleepiness deserves professional advice.

A worked example

Start at 14:00, allow 10 minutes to fall asleep, and plan 20 minutes asleep: set your alarm for 14:30.

Common questions

Will the website set an alarm?

No. Copy the suggested time into your phone or another alarm. Closing this page does not affect a device alarm you set separately.

Are 20 or 90 minutes guaranteed to avoid grogginess?

No. Alertness after a nap varies. A selected duration does not predict sleep stages or guarantee how you will feel.

Can I track a nap in NiceSleep?

Yes. NiceSleep supports nap records. Start the session in the app and review the completed record afterward.
