Right, and if you’re waking to an alarm, it’s not likely you’ll wake from REM sleep. If you sleep and let your body wake on its own, it’s almost always right in the middle of REM sleep, the time when you’re most awake, and most susceptible to being stirred from slumber. The body wave loads you through cycles of sleep until it’s ready to awake again, and pushes you out via a final REM state. That’s the case for me, anyway. If I let my body do what it needs, I find myself waking to remember making dreams, and often rocking the morning wood. ;)
