How this count works
One sleep is one night. The count follows the date where you are, so it goes down by one at midnight in your time zone.
This page counts to Easter Sunday as most Western churches set it, in March or April. Orthodox Easter can fall on a different date. On Easter the count shows 0, and the next day it moves on to the following year.
For example
On September 28, 2026 in New York, there are 181 sleeps until Easter: the first is the night of September 28, 2026 and the last is the night of March 27, 2027.
Questions about this countdown
Does tonight count as a sleep?
Yes. Tonight is the first sleep and the night before Easter is the last. The day before Easter, the count shows 1 sleep. On Easter, it shows 0.
Why is the number of sleeps the same as the number of days?
Every day still to come has one night before it. The day count leaves out today and includes Easter; the sleeps start tonight and stop the night before. Both come to the same number.
When does the sleep chart appear?
At 100 sleeps to go, on Friday, December 18, 2026. From then on the page shows one circle per night, numbered with the sleeps left, to print and cross off each morning.
Which time zone does the count use?
Your device's time zone, named on the Today line at the top of the page. Choose another time zone in the form to count the nights there instead.
