What Sleep Science Says

SleepNudge is built on validated sleep research

Sleep Cycles

REMLight SleepDeep Sleep
0h2h4h6h8h

Each cycle is ~90 min. Waking between cycles = refreshed. Mid-cycle = groggy

Dement, W. & Kleitman, N. (1957). Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 9(4), 673–690 (PubMed: 13480240)

Caffeine Half-life

Caffeine's average half-life is ~5 hours (range: 3–7h). A 3 PM coffee → 50% still in your system by 8 PM

Social Jet Lag

≈ 2h+ shift = weekly jet lag

If your weekday and weekend sleep differ by 2+ hours, it's like weekly jet lag
