How it works

A full sleep cycle averages 90 minutes. Waking at the end of a cycle rather than mid-cycle usually feels far less groggy. Fifteen minutes are added to fall asleep.

Frequently asked questions

How many cycles do I need?

Five to six cycles, or 7.5 to 9 hours, suits most adults.

Is 90 minutes exact?

It is an average. Cycles range from about 70 to 110 minutes and lengthen through the night.
