The SleepKit blog
Practical guides to sleep cycles, sleep debt, and consistency, with enough context to understand the numbers behind a good or rough night.
Why sleep consistency matters
A steady bedtime and wake time can matter alongside total sleep duration. Learn how consistency affects sleep and how to measure it.

Sleep efficiency measures how much of your time in bed you spend asleep. Learn the formula, common ranges, and practical ways to improve it.
