πŸŒ™Understanding Sleep Cycles

Sleep occurs in cycles of approximately 90 minutes, each consisting of different stages: light sleep (N1, N2), deep sleep (N3), and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. Waking up during light sleep at the end of a cycle helps you feel more refreshed and alert.

This calculator helps you plan your sleep schedule to wake up at the optimal point in your sleep cycle, reducing grogginess and improving your morning energy levels.

Sleep Stages Explained

N1-N2

Light Sleep (50-60%)

Transition stage where you can be easily awakened. Heart rate slows, body temperature drops.

N3

Deep Sleep (15-25%)

Most restorative stage. Body repairs tissues, builds muscle, and strengthens immune system.

REM

REM Sleep (20-25%)

Dream stage. Brain processes emotions and memories. Essential for learning and creativity.
