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.
I don’t see how the part about how to better fall asleep is “invalid” because I got it wrong. I did say it seems, based on the fact I thought cycles were 3 hours. I looked it up and I’m thinking of polyphasic sleep.
My anectode still works because I was sleeping 2 cycles. So at best, part of my comment is “wrong”, and that’s without taking into account I wasn’t saying anything other this “seems wrong”.
This is what these discussions are for, if you don’t like it go back [removed] on /r/science
This seems completely wrong.

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.
