What are Hours of Sleep?

Hours of sleep refer to the total amount of time a person spends sleeping during a single sleep cycle, typically measured from the time they go to bed to the time they wake up. Adequate sleep is crucial for physical and mental health, as it allows the body to rest, repair, and rejuvenate. The number of hours of sleep needed can vary based on age, lifestyle, and individual needs, but it is generally recommended that adults aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ S = (6 - 22 + 24) \% 24 = 8 \text{ hours} \]

The total hours of sleep is 8 hours.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ S = (7 - 23 + 24) \% 24 = 8 \text{ hours} \]

The total hours of sleep is 8 hours.
