Sleep Debt Calculator + Recovery Planner
Science-based sleep analysis and personalized recovery planning
What is Sleep Debt?
Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you need and the amount you actually get. Research shows that sleep debt accumulates over time and can significantly impact your health, cognitive function, and wellbeing.
Why It Matters
- Cognitive decline: 1.5% per hour of sleep debt
- Compromised immune system
- Increased cardiovascular risk
- Higher mortality risk with chronic debt
Science-Based Recovery
This tool uses peer-reviewed research to calculate your sleep debt and create a personalized recovery plan. Recovery isn't instant - it typically takes 4 days to fully recover from 1 hour of sleep debt.
