Are you getting enough sleep? Our free sleep debt calculator helps you track how much sleep you're missing compared to recommended amounts for your age. Enter your typical weekday and weekend sleep hours to see your accumulated sleep debt, health impact score, and a personalized recovery plan.
Sleep debt (also called sleep deficit) is the cumulative effect of not getting enough sleep over time. It's the difference between the amount of sleep you need and the amount you actually get. For example, if you need 8 hours but only sleep 6 hours, you accumulate 2 hours of sleep debt per night—14 hours per week. Unlike financial debt, sleep debt can't be 'paid back' all at once and requires gradual recovery.
