Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it important to wake up between sleep cycles?
Waking up between cycles (rather than in the middle of deep sleep) helps you feel more alert and refreshed. If you wake up during deep sleep, you may feel groggy and disoriented, even if you've slept for a long time.
What if I can't fall asleep at the calculated bedtime?
If you can't fall asleep within 20 minutes, get up and do a relaxing activity until you feel sleepy. Don't force sleep, as this can create anxiety. The calculated bedtime is a guideline - adjust based on your natural sleep patterns.
How can I improve my sleep quality?
Focus on sleep hygiene: maintain a consistent schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, limit caffeine and alcohol, exercise regularly (but not too close to bedtime), and ensure your sleep environment is comfortable and dark.
