Sleep Stages Calculator — free online calculator.
Which values should I enter?
Enter Total sleep using the units and format shown beside each field.
What formula does this calculator use?
The calculator uses the following relationship: Illustrative fixed-ratio distribution of entered total hours H: light sleep = 0.50 × H, deep sleep = 0.20 × H, REM sleep = 0.25 × H, awake = 0.05 × H. These fixed percentages are not derived from sleep-tracker measurements or clinical staging. The four displayed values sum to H, but real sleep proportions vary and awake time is not ordinarily a stage of actual sleep..
Why might my result differ from another source?
Results can differ because measurement methods, rounding and assumptions vary. This calculator is an estimate and is not a medical diagnosis.
Does the result update automatically?
