Interpretation

This is an estimated range

Cycles are not fixed at 90 minutes and vary between people and nights. The tool shows a window, not a medical conclusion.

Not a diagnosis

For general health education and estimation only. It does not diagnose a condition and is not treatment, medication, diet or training advice.
