The Science of Sleep Cycles and REM Optimization
Human sleep architecture is not a flat state but a series of recurring 90-minute sleep cycles. To wake up feeling refreshed and avoid sleep inertia, it is critical to time your alarm for the end of a cycle, specifically during Stage 1 light sleep.
How This Sleep Calculator Works
This terminal utilizes MCH-Temporal Logic to subtract or add cycles based on your target time. We factor in 15 minutes of sleep latency (the average time it takes a healthy adult to fall asleep), ensuring your circadian rhythm remains aligned with your REM stages.
Professional FAQ: Waking Up Refreshed
What is Sleep Inertia?
Sleep inertia is the feeling of grogginess and cognitive impairment upon waking. It occurs when you are woken up from Stage 3 (Slow Wave Sleep) instead of REM or Light Sleep.
Is a 90-minute sleep cycle the same for everyone?
While 90 minutes is the clinical average, individual sleep cycles can range from 70 to 110 minutes. Tracking your consistency with this calculator helps find your personal baseline.
