Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sleep cycle?

Human sleep is not uniform; it consists of cycles lasting about 90 minutes, moving from light sleep to deep sleep and REM, then back to light sleep.

Why do I feel tired after 8 hours of sleep?

You likely woke up in the middle of a deep sleep phase. Waking up at the end of a cycle (e.g., after 7.5 hours) often leaves you feeling more alert.

Does the calculator include time to fall asleep?

Yes, standard sleep calculators usually factor in about 14-15 minutes, which is the average time it takes a healthy adult to fall asleep.

Is it okay to only sleep for 4.5 hours?

While waking up after 3 cycles (4.5 hours) will make you feel less groggy initially, it is not enough sleep for long-term health and cognitive function.
