Yeh, I believe one REM cycle is around 90 min depending on the person.

New question:
How does one know what a "full night's rest" is since we all have different sleep patterns? It seems that regardless of how much sleep I get (4 hrs, 6 hrs, 8 hrs, 10 hrs) I still get a bit drowsy sometime during the day.

For most healthy active individuals under the age of 30 7-8 hours is sufficient for those over the age or 30 6-7 is normal and should 'last through the day' so to speak. Unless you have a sleeping disorder, you should be able to determine where you are in the spectrum all on your own. Experiment getting "X" amount of sleep one night and then say "X" plus 1hr on the other. Getting drowsy during the age could be due to changes in anything that's usually the 'norm' for you, age, eating habits, anything almost.
Remember one important thing is also that too much sleep could make you drowsy. You just need to determine what's comfortable for you and your schedule.

Concentrate on setting your sleep schedule for a while. Try to get 3 weeks worth of consistent 7-8 hours of sleep. If you try to sleep 8 hours one night, and then only 5 the next, your body is never going to regulate, and you won't know what is the right amount for you.
