What Is The Length of a Normal Sleep Cycle?

For an adult normal individual, one sleep cycle consists of 90-120 minutes of sleep. Our sleep cycle calculator also considers the same cycle range to suggest you better bedtime and wake time.

How Does Your Sleep Cycle Works?

NREM stands for Non-Rapid Eye Movement Sleep and involves the first 3 of the total 4 sleep cycles. In the first 2 cycles, the brain and body gradually slow down. In 3rd phase, you run into a deep sleep.

REM stands for Rapid Eye Movement Sleep in which your body is paralyzed temporarily. In this last sleep cycle, the activity of the brain increases, and your eyes move all around behind the lids. It mostly happens near to wake up time. You can also calculate your wake up time by entering your bedtime in the REM sleep calculator and judging if any such issue happens to you.

Is It Normal To Still Feel Tired After Sleeping For 8 Hours?

Yes of course! As we mentioned earlier, everyone has different sleep cycle lengths. So you need to optimize your sleep to stay energized after you wake up.
