Meet the Team

We're not doctors or sleep scientists—just three people who struggled with sleep and got obsessed with fixing it.

Jamie Okonkwo

Founder & Content Lead

I've been a night owl my entire life—my brain just doesn't shut off before midnight. That was fine until I had twins and 5:45am became my new reality. For two years I survived on cold coffee and spite. I started obsessively reading sleep research because I was desperate, not curious. This site exists because no exhausted parent should have to dig through medical journals at 3am like I did.

Kevin Li

Developer & Reformed Workaholic

I used to wear my 4-hours-of-sleep schedule like a badge of honor. Grinding through my 20s in tech, sleeping was something that happened when the code shipped. By 31 I was burnt out, anxious, and couldn't sleep even when I tried. Took me two years to unfuck my sleep schedule. Built this calculator because all the existing ones looked like they were made in 2005.

Rachel Brennan

Research & Wellness Writer

I got into sleep science the hard way—a year of insomnia after my divorce left me researching solutions at 4am instead of actually sleeping. Tried everything: apps, supplements, weighted blankets, that weird military sleep method. Some worked, most didn't. Now I dig through the actual studies so you know what's worth trying and what's just marketing.

The Science Behind Our Tools

Our calculators and recommendations are based on established sleep science principles, including:

• The average sleep cycle lasts approximately 90 minutes
• Most people go through 4-6 sleep cycles per night
• Waking up at the end of a sleep cycle helps you feel more refreshed
• Sleep needs vary by age, with recommendations from the National Sleep Foundation and other reputable organizations
