Wake up between
cycles.

The best times to fall asleep or wake up, timed to 90-minute sleep cycles.

Sleep runs in cycles of about 90 minutes. Waking at the end of one, rather than in the middle, helps you feel less groggy. This allows 15 minutes to fall asleep.

Most adults need 7–9 hours, so 5 or 6 cycles. Keeping the same wake-up time every day, weekends included, matters more than any single night.

A general estimate for healthy adults, not a diagnosis. If you are pregnant, under 18 or managing a health condition, check with a doctor first. Nothing you enter is sent to Gewo.
