On the weekends, I almost always get in a siesta around 12-1, and again I shoot for that 1.5 hour mark.
The 1.5 is based on observing my normal rhythm using my watch. It's not exact, but a good basis.

That's good observation and backed by some science. You typically get into rem sleep every 90 minutes and cycle gh spikes at that time as well. Waking up on cycle also allows you to feel less groggy getting up.
