🧠 The Science

Sleep Cycles: Your brain cycles through light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep approximately every 90 minutes throughout the night.
Optimal Timing: Waking up at the end of a complete cycle, during lighter sleep stages, helps you feel more alert and refreshed.
Circadian Rhythm: Your body's internal clock regulates sleep-wake cycles based on light exposure and daily patterns.
Individual Variation: While 90 minutes is average, your personal cycle length may vary between 70-120 minutes.
