Tips and FAQ

  • QUESTION 1

    What are sleep cycles?

    Human sleep alternates between REM (light sleep) and non-REM (deep sleep) in approximately 90-minute cycles. Waking up during cycle transitions helps you feel refreshed.

  • QUESTION 2

    Is there an ideal bedtime?

    Generally, bedtime between 10-11 PM is considered ideal. It's important to enter deep sleep during 10 PM-2 AM when growth hormone secretion is most active.

  • QUESTION 3

    Should naps be included in total sleep time?

    Naps complement nighttime sleep, but excessive napping can affect nighttime sleep. Short naps of 15-30 minutes are recommended.

  • QUESTION 4

    Is catching up on sleep during weekends effective?

    Excessive weekend sleep can disrupt your body clock and make Monday mornings difficult. Keep the difference within 2 hours from weekdays.
