Sleep Deficit Tracker: Reclaim Your Rest
Adequate sleep is fundamental to good health, cognitive function, and emotional well-being. A sleep deficit, or sleep debt, is the cumulative effect of not getting enough sleep. Over time, this can lead to a host of health problems, including impaired immunity, mood swings, and reduced productivity.
This tool helps you quantify your sleep deficit based on your nightly sleep, naps, and your personal sleep target. Understanding your sleep patterns is the first step toward improving them.
