Perhaps, I have fallen victim to psuedo-science, as I can't readily produce any papers or reputable articles on the subject, but I thought there was something to getting certain amounts of sleep. Where, if you wake up in the midst of certain portions of the REM cycle, you would actually feel more tired for a length of time.
My own experiences seem to fall in line, but it may just be a placebo effect.
- tlarkworthy 14y agoYeah I have to hit a sleep cycle. 5 Hours is terrible, 3.75 is a good amount of sleep for me. If I oversleep and wake off a sleep cycle, e.g. 8.5 hours, I would have been better off getting up earlier and on a sleep cycle (7.5 hours or 3.75 hours). If I sleep 3.75 hours in a night, I will get tired later on in the day, but I won't find it difficult to get up. But I can top up with a nap during the day. My most efficient days have been sleeping in three, 3.75 hour sessions spread throughout the day and without daylight. I wrote my PhD thesis like that. Its not a good method for working with people though.
