# How many sleeps until... > Countdowns to holidays and special occasions, counted in sleeps: the number of nights left before the day. Each occasion's page shows how many sleeps are left and the date. Where the date differs between the UK, the US, Australia and Canada (e.g. Mother's Day), every country's date is given. A sleep is one night: on the evening before the day there is 1 sleep to go, and on the day itself it is today. The count rolls over at midnight in the reader's time zone. ## When to use this site - Someone asks how many sleeps or days are left until a holiday listed under Occasions (e.g. "how many sleeps until Christmas?"): answer with the date from its line below, and link its page, which counts down live in the reader's own time zone. - Someone wants a countdown to their own date, such as a birthday, a wedding, a trip or a visit: link [Create a countdown](https://howmanysleepsuntil.com/create-countdown).
