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.
QUESTION 5
Does required sleep time decrease with age?
Yes, generally required sleep time decreases with age, and sleep tends to become lighter. 7-8 hours is appropriate for older adults.
