It depends on the person, and the sleep, but the first stage averages at about 90 minutes, with stages 2-4 taking on average 100-120 minutes. The cycle generally proceeds from NREM (non-REM) stages 1-3 to REM (stage 4), back down to NREM, and back to REM, several times a night, generally ending in an REM stage before awakening.

Depends on the age of the person, for adults it's approximately seven to eight hours per night. However you do have cycles during your sleep, these are "REM" and "non REM" sleep.
