Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This seems completely wrong.

Yes at 1:30 you are in deep sleep, as it is believed we sleep in roughly 3 hour cycles, where if undisturbed you'll go for another 3 hours.

But that also means if you wake up after 1.5 hours, or really too early into sleep beyond 20-30, you're going to wake up all groggy and hating yourself. Anecdotally I've always made sure to sleep at least 3 hours, even if I had 4 hour of time, I'd sleep 3 and it made it so much easier to wake up.

And for those who have trouble falling asleep, I suggest to stop using falling-asleep time to gather your thoughts and relax. If you need just close your eyes at another time and do it then to clear you mind (which is what meditation is), do that. Your body is a machine that needs to be turned off in steps, like a computer. You control all the knobs.

Sleep cycles are 90-110 minutes, so your entire comment is pretty much invalid.

lol that whole comment is confidentlyincorrect material.

Somebody read the “about” page on their sleep tracking app and fancies themselves an expert now.
