You generally have 90 minute sleep cycles. They alternate between REM and NREM, but the ratio is not the same. It's not 50 50, and it changes over the night. You have more NREM at first, then more REM at the end of the night. So if you notice, you dream a lot more in the morning. That's what happens. You start dreaming a lot more in the morning. You're in deep sleep. There's no dreams in the beginning of the night, but in the morning is when you start dreaming. So the theory is, and this hasn't been proven yet, that you do all the cleaning first and then you're strengthening what's left. Strengthen, strengthening those memories. So you generally get five out five sleep cycles in seven and a half hours of sleep.
