Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Did you ever notice the time between wakings? For me it's three hours pretty much on the dot — i.e. I have a regular 1½-hour cycle, but prefer sleeping for two cycles minimum for some reason, and do the same with naps.
As for the cycle being restarted, REM is deep sleep, so you're unlikely to get it if you're woken up all the time.
It's quite random, the time between wakings. If I go by smartwatch data it's anywhere between 10 minutes and 4 hours. Consciously remembered ones, those are almost always 2 hours on the dot.
Sounds like you might want to try going to sleep 8.5 or 9 hours before the obligatory getting up time, and just get up if you wake up by yourself a bit earlier.
