Have you ever wondered how many people are awake - right now? There's no magic ball to give a 100% accurate figure here, but I'll supply a decent approximation for you!

I made something similar to this a few years ago on Replit (again), but now I'm bringing it to life for the public to see!
This tool gives a rough approximation of how many people are awake at the current moment.

This assumes that the world population is exactly 8.2 billion, taking the average of various sources as of May 24th, 2025.
