    As far as I know REM cycles (when you dream) get progressively longer the longer you are asleep. Meaning the most intense dreams are usually at the end of a long period sleep.

    The cycle which you dream might start out at 5 min. and the next time it's 10 min... etc... so after 9 hours your dream cycle is like 40 minutes long.

    I could be wrong, that's just what I half-remember from class.
