πŸ’‘ How Sleep Cycles Work

Sleep occurs in 90-minute cycles of light sleep β†’ deep sleep β†’ REM. Waking mid-cycle (especially during deep sleep) causes grogginess. Waking between cycles feels natural and refreshing.

The calculator adds 15 minutes for falling asleep. Most adults need 4-6 complete cycles (6-9 hours). 5 cycles (7.5 hours) is optimal for most people.

Want to wake at 7:00 AM? Best sleep times: 11:15 PM (5 cycles, 7.75h), 9:45 PM (6 cycles, 9.25h), or 12:45 AM (4 cycles, 6.25h).
