> increased sleep duration by 27 minutes per night by inducing more time in bed

Maybe 27 minutes is just not enough? I’m sure the results would be different if they started to get 7 hours instead of 5.5.

Possible "misaligned" is a better descriptor? I don't know about most people, but according to a sleep app I've been using for a while now, my REM cycles seem to be around 1.5-2 hours. Waking up at between cycles works well, adding a half hour does not.

My thoughts as well. They still got less than 6 hours a night, and were already in a state of constant sleep deprivation.

+1. Though remember we're talking averages, and different people have different sleep needs. One would think some of them saw enough increase in sleep quality to show up in the stats.
