About Healthy Sleep

Regulates mood and emotional well-being
Promotes cellular repair and growth
Maintains hormonal balance
Understanding Sleep Cycles
Sleep occurs in cycles of approximately 90 minutes, each consisting of four stages: three stages of non-REM sleep and one REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep stage.
Sleep Stages:
- Stage 1 (N1): Light sleep, easy to wake, lasts 1-5 minutes
- Stage 2 (N2): Deeper sleep, body temperature drops, lasts 10-60 minutes
- Stage 3 (N3): Deep sleep, difficult to wake, restorative, lasts 20-40 minutes
- REM Sleep: Dreaming occurs, brain active, body paralyzed, lasts 10-60 minutes
Optimizing Sleep Cycles:
- Aim for 5-6 complete sleep cycles per night (7.5-9 hours)
- Waking at the end of a cycle helps you feel more refreshed
- Consistent sleep schedule improves cycle regularity
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine as they disrupt sleep architecture
