But there must be some kind of rule of a TIME of from where it counts as an REM rebound?
If you say it's about going bed on the day after, I could sleep from 20:00 to 23:59 and then be awake to 8am and then go bed and sleep some hours. But I guess that wouldn't count?
And my question were also what does count? That what does 'the day after' means in particular?

I just want to know how I can count it as a rebound if I want to try doing it.
Which of these alternatives would you allow to call a REM rebound?

#1
Going bed at 23:30 at 7th April, waking up 03:30 at 8th April, being awake until 21:00 at 8th April and then going back to bed. Would that count as a rebound?

#2
Going bed at 02:00 at 8th April, waking up 06:00 at 8th April, being awake until 23:00 at 8th April. Would this work too or is this just not enough time?

People have different views on what day is a day, TV channels pages like tv.nu shows up programs that passes 00:00 time in same day of the programs that shows like 21:00.
I just want to know the rules of a proper REM rebound, or else I just judge it myself if it now doesn't matter. Because then I probably going one day to bed at 2 or 3am, waking up a 4 hours later and then being awake until like 21pm and then going to sleep. Then a whole day for me have passed atleast. Not sure what other people would call that though.
