Frequently asked questions
Why am I still tired after 8 or 9 hours of sleep?
Common reasons include irregular sleep times, alcohol or late caffeine, a warm or noisy room, waking at the wrong point in a cycle, or sleep that is fragmented. Loud snoring with breathing pauses, or sleepiness that affects driving or work, should be checked by a doctor.
How do I move my bedtime earlier?
Shift it by 15 to 30 minutes every two or three days while keeping the wake time fixed, get bright light after waking and dim lights for an hour before bed.
Are 90 minute sleep cycles accurate for everyone?
Ninety minutes is an average. Research shows cycle length differs between people, and cycle length can vary within the same night. That is why bedtime calculators give estimates. They are still useful because they turn a vague goal into a realistic schedule you can test.
How many hours of sleep does an adult really need?
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and Sleep Research Society recommend at least 7 hours a night for adults. The National Sleep Foundation suggests 7 to 9 hours for most adults and 7 to 8 hours for people 65 and older. Some people need more, and you can judge your own need by how you feel on days you are not sleep deprived.
How do I adjust to daylight saving time?
Move your schedule by 15 to 20 minutes over several days before the change and get morning light afterwards. Expect a few days of adjustment.
How many sleep cycles do I need per night?
Most adults do well with 5 cycles (about 7.5 hours) and some need 6 (about 9 hours). Four cycles, about 6 hours, is short for most people and is better used as an occasional fallback than a habit.
Is 6 hours of sleep enough?
For most adults it is below the recommended 7 hours. Some people feel fine for a while, but research on chronic sleep restriction found that performance slips even when people do not feel very sleepy. Treat 6 hours as a short night and plan recovery sleep.
Does a consistent sleep schedule really matter?
Yes. A regular sleep and wake time supports your body clock, which can make it easier to fall asleep and wake up. Large gaps between weekday and weekend times can leave you feeling jet lagged on Monday.
