Worked Example: Ramadan Biphasic Sleep Worked Example
Balance night core sleep cycles, Suhoor wake window, post-dawn sleep, and afternoon nap to hit 5 total cycles (7.5h).
- Select your wake-up time, sleep cycle target, or upcoming milestone countdown window.
- Evaluate the cycle or calendar equation: TotalSleepHours = (NightCoreCycles × 1.5) + (PostDawnCycles × 1.5) + (AfternoonNapMin / 60).
- Review the primary target time/countdown, supporting checkpoints, and 3 custom SVG diagrams.
Result: Computes Ramadan Biphasic Sleep via TotalSleepHours = (NightCoreCycles × 1.5) + (PostDawnCycles × 1.5) + (AfternoonNapMin / 60).

Ramadan Suhoor, Taraweeh & Biphasic Sleep Cycle Planner Calculator: inputs, method, and how to read the result
Balance night core sleep cycles, Suhoor wake window, post-dawn sleep, and afternoon nap to hit 5 total cycles (7.5h).
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Suhoor Wake Hour24: Pre-dawn Suhoor wake-up hour in 24-hour format (e.g., 4.0 = 4:00 AM).
- Night Core Sleep Cycles: Complete 90-minute cycles before Suhoor (e.g., 3 cycles = 4.5 hrs from 11:15 PM to 4:00 AM).
- Post Dawn Sleep Cycles: Complete 90-minute cycles after Fajr/Suhoor before work/school (1 cycle = 1.5 hrs).
- Afternoon Nap Minutes: Afternoon Qailulah / power nap duration in minutes (20–30 min or 90 min).
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, Night Core Bedtime Before Suhoor is 11:15 PM. The calculation follows Ramadan Biphasic Sleep Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Suhoor Wake Hour24 from 4 hr (24h) to 5 hr (24h) changes Night Core Bedtime Before Suhoor from 11:15 PM to 12:15 AM. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Sleep cycle calculations use the standard 90-minute ultradian NREM/REM cycle (Aserinsky & Kleitman; National Sleep Foundation).
- Individual sleep cycle lengths vary between 80 and 110 minutes; treat cycle-aligned times as practical estimates, not medical advice.
Scope: Global NSF, AASM & ISO 8601 Standard Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
