Sleep Cycle Question

Recommended Posts

Each sleep cycle is 90 minutes (1.5 hours). The X-axis shows a total of 7 hours, so there are 4 completed cycles. Note how the four REM cycles (the plateaus) get longer through the night.

 

The average night of sleep includes 5 cycles, because the average person sleeps 7.5 hours.
