How to calculate your life path number
- Write your full date of birth as month, day and year.
- Reduce each part to a single digit by adding its digits together. Keep 11, 22 or 33 as they are.
- Add the three results together.
- Reduce that total to a single digit, again keeping 11, 22 or 33.
Some calculators add every digit of the date in one go, which can occasionally give a different result, especially for master numbers. SleepHz uses the more common reduce-each-part method.

Master numbers: 11, 22 and 33
Numerology treats 11, 22 and 33 as master numbers and doesn't reduce them further. They're read as carrying the traits of their root number (2, 4 and 6) with a bigger calling: intuition for 11, building for 22 and teaching for 33.
Why pair life path numbers with frequencies?
Life paths 1 to 9 pair naturally with the angel-number tones, from 111 Hz to 999 Hz. The master numbers get solfeggio tones that match their themes: 852 Hz for intuition, 174 Hz for foundations and 528 Hz for love.
There's no scientific evidence that numbers or tones shape personality. Many people simply enjoy having a sound that feels like theirs for meditation, focus or winding down.
