The Science Behind Sleep Cycles
A full sleep cycle lasts approximately 90 minutes and includes both NREM (non-rapid eye movement) and REM (rapid eye movement) stages. Waking up at the end of a cycle — when sleep is lightest — helps you feel more refreshed and alert. This calculator uses the standard 90-minute cycle model endorsed by the National Sleep Foundation and the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Fun Fact: The average person experiences 4-6 complete sleep cycles per night. The first REM cycle is the shortest (about 10 minutes), while the last one before waking can last up to 60 minutes!
