@drjoe_md: Waking up feeling like a zombie? It’s not your mattress—it’s your sleep cycles! Your body goes through 90-minute sleep episodes all night long, from light sleep to deep sleep to dreaming about wild scenarios. If you wake up in the middle of a deep sleep phase, you’re bound to feel groggy and disoriented. The trick? Time your wake-up at the end of a sleep cycle, when you’re in light sleep (Stage 1 or 2). Aim for 5 or 6 cycles (7.5 or 9 hours) for that refreshed, ready-to-conquer-the-day vibe. Sweet dreams start with smart alarms! ⏰💤 #bettersleep #SleepTips #ScienceExplained #Wellness
To put it simply, find the time you need to wake up and count back in 90 minute periods for however long you want to sleep. It’s so that when you wake up you’re not disturbing your sleep by waking up in the middle of sleep cycle.

So if I fall asleep at 3am and wake up at 6 am (90+90=180 divided by 60=3) I’ll be good for the day?

This isn’t helpful for insomniacs. We can’t plan when we’re going to fall asleep, we kinda have to just take what we can get 🫠🫠

this makes sense. I always wake up after about 4 and a half hours, so 3 sleep cycles.

It’s kinda crazy that our body’s have natural sleep cycles but we have alarms to force you out your natural patterns

Not everyone has the same sleep cycle though, do they? Also I NEVER go to sleep at the same time.
