What is the Sleep Debt Calculator?

The Sleep Debt Calculator helps you estimate the amount of sleep you have “missed” over a period of time compared to your target sleep. By entering your age group, target sleep hours, actual sleep hours, and the number of days, the tool calculates your total sleep debt and categorizes it as mild, moderate, or severe. This helps you understand how much extra rest your body may need to recover and maintain optimal health.

How to Use:

1. Select Age Group: Choose your age group (Teen, Adult, Senior).
2. Enter Target Sleep: Specify the number of hours you aim to sleep per night.
3. Enter Actual Sleep: Enter your average nightly sleep hours for the period.
4. Enter Duration: Provide the number of days over which your sleep is tracked.
5. Click “Calculate”: The calculator computes your total sleep debt and displays your sleep status with a color-coded indicator.
6. Review Result: Use the result to adjust your sleep habits. Tips include gradually increasing sleep duration and prioritizing rest for recovery.
