I'd like to see some deeper explanation around the following:
> My average sleep efficiency (time asleep vs time in bed) according to Apple Watch & Oura is ~85%, meaning to get my 7h30 of sleep to feel rested I will stay more than 10h in bed. That sucks!
1. Where does the 10h figure here come from? It seems to me that 85% SE would reach 7h30 sleep hours at 8h50m bed hours (7.5/0.85).
2. What is an expected healthy sleep efficiency? Does 85% fall outside the normal range?
3. Where does the 7h30 target come from? If this is based on the standard adult recommendation of 7-8 hours, are we sure that this recommendation assumes 100% SE? If it doesn't, we're mixing different units.
- vincelt 3y agoCorrected the post and bad math sorry! 1. ~10h is ~8.5h indeed + time to fall asleep (not counted in the % awake on Apple Watch) 2. Curious as well. 3. For me sleeping less than 7h30, I'll definitely feel it the next days. But I'm early 20s and I guess it varies a lot. Good question about recommendations & efficiency,I always wondered about that.
