Frequently Asked Questions

How long is one sleep cycle?

A typical sleep cycle lasts about 90 minutes and includes light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep stages. Most adults complete 4–6 cycles per night, totalling 6–9 hours.

Why do I feel groggy even after a full night's sleep?

Grogginess (sleep inertia) is often caused by waking during deep sleep rather than at a natural cycle boundary. The calculator suggests wake times aligned to cycle endpoints to reduce this effect.
