The Science Behind Sleep Cycles
Our sleep calculator is based on three key scientific principles:
- 90-Minute Cycles: Research shows average human sleep cycles last approximately 90 minutes, with individuals cycling through all sleep stages during this period.
- Sleep Onset Latency: Most people take about 14 minutes to fall asleep after going to bed (included in our calculations).
- Circadian Rhythm: Working with your body's natural clock improves sleep quality and morning alertness.
Important: Individual sleep cycles may vary between 70-120 minutes. This calculator provides general guidance based on population averages. Consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
