How Do Sleep Cycles Work?
Human sleep is structured into repeating cycles that typically last around 90 minutes (ranging between 80 and 110 minutes). Each cycle moves through non-REM sleep (Light Sleep, Deep Sleep) into REM (Rapid Eye Movement) dream sleep.
When an alarm wakes you up in the middle of a Deep Sleep phase, you experience sleep inertiaâa heavy, groggy feeling that can linger for hours. By waking up at the completion of a 90-minute sleep cycle, your brain transitions naturally from light REM sleep to wakefulness, leaving you refreshed and energetic.
