For example, if you see a pattern of minimal deep sleep, but an overabundance of light sleep, there are steps you can take to increase your deep sleep. The hypnogram’s purpose is to provide a general sense of your nightly sleep behaviors. You can also see how long it took to fall asleep, and when you woke up in the morning. You may experience large chunks of REM, deep, or light sleep, with intermittent wake ups. This is where you’ll gain a greater understanding of what your night looks like and why you might be missing parts of your most important sleep stage. In your second hypnogram chart, you’ll see the detailed view of your sleep, broken down by half-hour increments. These are all normal behaviors, but our goal is to help balance your sleep, so your hypnogram reflects healthy amounts of light, deep, and REM sleep, as well as reduced wake times. You may also have woken up several times throughout the night. As you look through your hypnogram, you may see you jump around from light, deep, and REM frequently. The colors of each stage correspond to the detailed breakdown chart located father down. Along the y-axis are the four sleep stages we are monitoring, starting with deep sleep at the top, then light, REM, and lastly your sleep onset times and nightly awakenings. You’ll notice the x-axis lays out the hours of the night, broken up into two-hour increments.
