Frequently Asked Questions

What is sleep debt?

Sleep debt is the cumulative difference between the sleep you need and the sleep you actually get over time.

Can I pay off sleep debt quickly?

You can recover some with extra sleep on weekends, but chronic debt takes consistent good habits over weeks to fully repay.

Is my sleep history data secure?

Yes. All data you enter in the sliders remains entirely local in your browser. No personal logs or history are sent to external databases or servers.
