Set alarm for 10:30 AM

 

What time should I go to bed to wake at 10:30 AM?

If 10:30 AM is fixed, the variable is bedtime. These options each complete a whole number of ~90-minute sleep cycles before the alarm sounds, allowing about 15 minutes to fall asleep.

1:16 AM 6 sleep cycles 9 hours of sleep
2:46 AM 5 sleep cycles 7.5 hours of sleep
4:16 AM 4 sleep cycles 6 hours of sleep

These are planning figures, not medical advice — cycle length varies between people and from night to night.
