Sleep efficiency refers to the ratio of total sleep time to time in bed. Sleep latency is the time period measured from "lights out" or bedtime to the initiation of sleep. Sleep architecture is the pattern of NREM and REM, which is in about a 90- to 110-minute cycle. The sleep-wake cycle is an endogenously generated rhythm close to 24 to 25 hours, synchronized with the day-night cycle.
