Although it’s generally accepted that cores which are multiples of 1.5 hours contain a corresponding number of cycles (e.g., a 4.5-hour core would typically include three cycles), some members have observed that this may not always be the case. For instance, a 4.5-hour core might consist of two extended cycles, each lasting around two hours, followed by a light sleep buffer at the end. | |||
