SLEEP TIMING TRICK SO YOU DON’T WAKE UP FEELING EXHAUSTED If you need to wake up at 7 AM Go to sleep at: 21:45 / 23:15 / 00:45 / 02:15 If you need to wake up at 8 AM Go to sleep at: 22:45 / 00:15 / 01:45 / 03:15 If you need to wake up at 6 AM Go to sleep at: 20:45 / 22:15 / 23:45 / 01:15 Why are the times so unusual?

A 90-minute sleep cycle is the basic time unit the brain uses to move through different stages of sleep repeatedly throughout the night. On average, the human body needs about 90 minutes to complete one full cycle—from light sleep to deep sleep, and finally to the dreaming phase. Source: REM NREM sleep cycle
