A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product to optimize sleep quality by inducing sleep stages. The method includes: determining a total sleep time; calculating, using the total sleep time, a cycle duration for a sleep cycle, where the sleep cycle includes a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sleep stage; calculating a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth stage time for the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sleep stages respectively; generating a first, second, third, fourth, and fifth external parameter for the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth sleep stages respectively, where the external parameters are parameters to facilitate a transition between sleep stages; and executing the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth external parameters upon reaching the calculated stage time for the corresponding sleep stages.

Cognitively inducing sleep cycles by leveraging wearables

A method, computer system, and computer program product for cognitively adjusting a notification alert delivery time are provided. The embodiment may include receiving a message notification from a sender. The embodiment may also include determining an importance of the received message notification based on a plurality of notification attributes and a plurality of person attributes that are each associated with the received message notification. The embodiment may further include, in response to determining to alert a user of the received message notification based on the determined importance, identifying a current user sleep stage. The embodiment may also include, in response to determining the current user sleep stage will minimally impact the user, transmitting the received message notification to a user device.
