Abstract
The last hour of spontaneous awakenings from uninterrupted sleep of 16 young adults was analyzed. In general, sleep was not fitful and broken but a continuation of the sleep process to the point of awakening. There were substantial individual differences in the time of awakening and the stage of sleep from which the sleeper emerged.Keywords
