wake time

Sleep's scheduled end

Wake time is the period a person, especially an infant or young child, spends awake between sleep sessions.

Parents and caregivers track wake time to optimize nap schedules and prevent overtiredness: His wake time is about two hours before he needs another nap.

The term also appears in sleep science for total daily hours spent awake.
