Wake after sleep onset (WASO) refers to periods of wakefulness occurring after defined sleep onset. This parameter measures wakefulness, excluding the wakefulness occurring before sleep onset. WASO time is a better reflection of sleep fragmentation.<1>

On [[monophasic]], WASO is a common issue. Those, who often wake up at night, may find polyphasic schedules with a higher segmentation more natural. This includes [[dual core]], [[tri core]] schedules, as well as [[QC0]]. Other schedules with only short [[cores]] and [[naps]], such as [[E3]], are also possible. [[Nap only]] schedules can fit in extreme cases as well (e.g. inability to stay asleep for more than ~20 minutes at a time).

On polyphasic, WASO often is a sign of the [[repartitioning]] and ongoing adaptation. It is supposed to disappear mostly after being adapted.

Waking up during sleep frequently may be a sign of the low sleep quality, at well as a sign of different sleep disorders, such as [[wikipedia:Sleep_apnea|sleep apnea]].
