Core Sleep
The term core sleep describes the minimal amount of sleep that an individual needs to perform properly during the day. This amount varies from person to person.
In a typical individual, the first 5.5 hours of sleep contain 100% of deep sleep. This stage of sleep is what is most important in terms of daytime functioning.
When you actively start to reduce the amount of time you sleep (more on this later) you will need to experiment to find your personal core sleep.
Keep in mind that even in the event that you do not obtain full deep sleep one night, your body’s natural sleep mechanism will make up for this by a prolonged period of deep sleep the next night.
