1. A method, comprising:

  • detecting, by a computing device, performance of sleep ritual activities;

    determining, by the computing device, completion of a sleep ritual, wherein the sleep ritual includes one or more sleep ritual activities performed before sleep;

    calculating, by the computing device, a sleep onset latency duration based on a difference between an intended sleep time associated with the completion of the sleep ritual and an actual sleep time;

    obtaining, by the computing device, calendar information describing a calendar event scheduled for a second time;

    determining, by the computing device, whether adjusting an alarm set for a first time based on the sleep onset latency duration provides a sufficient waking duration prior to the calendar event at the second time; and

    setting, by the computing device, a new alarm to account for the sleep onset latency duration in response to a determination that adjusting the alarm based on the sleep onset latency duration provides the sufficient waking duration prior to the calendar event at the second time.
