1. Not Medical Advice

Best Sleep Times ( https://www.bestsleeptimes.com ) provides a sleep cycle calculator tool and educational content about sleep optimization. This information is based on general sleep science principles and the concept of 90-minute sleep cycles.

This service is NOT:

  • A replacement for professional medical advice

  • Persistent sleep problems or chronic fatigue
  • Changes in sleep patterns that concern you
  • Any medical condition or medication that affects your sleep
