Sleep History

Why Sleep Tracking Matters

Sleep is one of the most powerful levers for health, performance, and longevity. The National Sleep Foundation recommends 7–9 hours per night for adults, yet surveys consistently show that over 35% of adults report getting fewer than 7 hours. Tracking your sleep creates awareness of patterns that you would otherwise miss.

Understanding Your Sleep Score

This tracker calculates a sleep score based on two key factors: sleep duration (how many hours you slept) and sleep quality (your subjective rating of how rested you feel). A score of 80–100 indicates excellent sleep; 60–79 is good; 40–59 suggests room for improvement; below 40 indicates poor sleep that may be affecting your health.

Sleep Duration Guidelines

Adults aged 18–64 need 7–9 hours per night. Adults 65+ typically need 7–8 hours. Chronic sleep deprivation — consistently sleeping less than 7 hours — is associated with increased risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and impaired cognitive function. Even one hour less than your personal optimum can affect alertness, mood, and decision-making.

Tips for Better Sleep

Maintain a consistent sleep schedule even on weekends. Keep your bedroom cool (around 18°C/65°F), dark, and quiet. Avoid screens for 60 minutes before bed. Limit caffeine after 2 PM. Exercise regularly but not within 3 hours of bedtime. These evidence-based practices consistently produce improvements in both sleep duration and quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is my sleep score calculated?
The score combines sleep duration (weighted 60%) and your quality rating (weighted 40%). 8 hours at quality 5 produces a perfect 100 score.
How many sleep entries does the tracker store?
The tracker keeps your last 14 days of sleep entries for trend analysis.
What if I take naps?
Log each sleep session separately. You can add a note to indicate it was a nap.
Why does my score vary even when I sleep the same hours?
Sleep quality matters as much as duration. Poor quality sleep (restless, frequent waking) can produce worse outcomes than slightly shorter but higher quality sleep.
