Wake-up time
The daily anchor used to build the rest of the light schedule.
Date
The selected date used to reflect seasonal daylight changes.
Use current location
Fetches your current location so the tool can align the schedule with local daylight.
Reset
Restores the default wake-up time and date, and clears location-based daylight data.
Morning light and dim-light windows
Shows when to get bright light soon after waking and when to start reducing bright light before bed.
Daily rhythm timeline
Visualizes the wake-to-sleep span with light windows layered into a simple daily timeline.
It shows a suggested morning light window, an evening dim-light window, and an estimated bedtime built from your wake-up time and local daylight when available.
Current location helps the calculator align your schedule with local sunrise and sunset for the selected date.
The tool still shows an approximate wake-time-based schedule, but the results are no longer adjusted to local daylight.
