Ever wonder why some mornings you wake up feeling great, and others feel like you got hit by a truck, even if you got "enough" sleep? The answer often lies in which stage of sleep you were in when you woke up. Sleep happens in cycles, and each cycle moves through distinct stages that restore your brain and body in different ways. Understanding them (and syncing with them) can help you feel better rested without necessarily getting more sleep.

Here's the idea: non-REM sleep acts like a fertilizer, strengthening memory "roots." Then, REM sleep steps in like a gardener, pruning the extra branches and preventing confusion between similar thoughts. What's odd about it? It only works in that specific order. If REM sleep comes first? You lose the memory altogether. This discovery gives even more weight to the importance of sleep cycles, not just hours. The Wild Way Sleep Helps You Keep Your Memories Quiz Answer The correct answer is C. 90 minutes. That's the average length of one full sleep cycle, including light sleep, deep (slow-wave) sleep, and REM. So, try to time your bedtime to wake up at the end of a cycle, not the middle of one!
