Questions

Do sleep cycles last exactly 90 minutes?

No. NHLBI describes cycles around 80–100 minutes; timing varies across people and the night. A calculator cannot identify your sleep stage.

How much sleep should adults plan for?

NIH recommends about seven to nine hours for adults. Individual needs vary; these planning windows are not a diagnosis.
