--The method of calculating on your fingers the possible number of hours you can sleep after being up later than you wanted.--
Sleep Math is usually only done when you know you have to get up early, wished you could just sleep in, and are stressing because you're afraid you might not get enough sleep.
With a normal, not exhausted brain, you could probably do this math in your head. However, since you are tired you have to go back to how you did math as a child, counting on fingers.
