# How do I build sleep stage charts from hypnogram samples?

**Yes, you can build a sleep stage chart from single-timestamp hypnogram samples.** Each sample carries a single start timestamp and forms a continuous series, where the start of each sample is the end of the previous one.

To reconstruct stage intervals (and build an Apple-style sleep stage chart):

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Treat consecutive sample timestamps as segment boundaries.**
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Run the final sleep stage from its start timestamp to the sleep session's metadata `end_time`.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

The `end_time` marks the end of the whole session and may include trailing awake time, denoted by a final awake hypnogram sample.

For the sleep payload structure, see the [data models reference](https://docs.tryterra.co/reference/health-and-fitness-api/data-models).
