Frequently Asked Questions

Why does sleep come in 90-minute cycles?

A full sleep cycle (light sleep, deep sleep, REM) lasts about 90 minutes. Waking up at the end of a cycle, rather than in the middle, helps you feel more refreshed.

How many sleep cycles should I aim for?

Most adults need 5-6 complete cycles per night, which equals about 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep.

Is this calculator medically accurate?

It's based on average sleep cycle research and provides a helpful estimate, but individual sleep patterns vary. Consult a doctor for chronic sleep issues.
