Why does time go fast when you sleep?


Question:
I sleep like at 10 or 11 and i wake at 9 and it seemed like I only slept for 10 minutes! why is this?

Answers:
1. Maybe you snore and you keep a part of you awake all night
2. You wake up at a wrong part of your sleep cycle.
------------------
four non-REM stages and the REM stage. A sixth stage, waking, is often included
Waking, in this context, is actually the phase during which a person falls asleep.
Sleep Cycle
The five stages of sleep, including their repetition, occur cyclically. The first cycle, which ends after the completion of the first REM stage, usually lasts for 100 minutes. Each subsequent cycle lasts longer, as its respective REM stage extends. So a person may complete five cycles in a typical night's sleep.

Factors that Affect Sleep Stage and the Sleep Cycle
The sleep cycle is variable, influenced by several agents. Sleep cycles subsequent to the first one in a night's sleep typically feature less slow-wave sleep, as Stages 3 and 4 shorten. Slow-wave, deep sleep is longest early in a night's sleep. Generally, sleep disorders affect the quality, duration, and onset of sleep. Sleep deprivation, frequently changing sleep schedule, stress, and environment all affect the progression of the sleep cycle.
