Why it works

Why Sleep Cycles Matter

Sleep isn't just about the number of hours—it's about quality and timing. Your body goes through natural 90-minute sleep cycles, each consisting of light sleep, deep sleep, and REM (dream) sleep. Waking during a light phase leaves you refreshed; waking during deep sleep leaves you groggy.
