4. Sleep Calculator

This site emphasizes how getting a good night's sleep is about more than simply going to bed early - it's about waking up at the right time too. This bedtime calculator can work out the best time for you to rise or go to sleep and help you potentially stick to that pattern.

Side note: This means limiting screen time, so actually hitting the hay when you say 'I'm going to bed" not getting into bed and checking the feed.
