Where people go wrong

  • Adding latency to wake time instead of subtracting it.
  • Assuming every person has exactly 90-minute cycles.
  • Treating the result as a medical diagnosis.

FAQ

Are 90-minute cycles exact?

It is an average; cycles vary by person and night. A sleep log is more reliable.

Should I choose 4, 5 or 6 cycles?

Choose by your sleep need; most adults need 7 to 9 hours, roughly five to six cycles.

Is this medical advice?

No; see a clinician for persistent insomnia, snoring or daytime sleepiness.
