Your sleep tracker is meant to support your sleep - not stress you out about it. 😴⌚
Ever woken up feeling perfectly fine… only to see a “bad” sleep score and suddenly question how rested you actually feel?
This constant chase for the perfect sleep score can sometimes do more harm than good. It’s known as orthosomnia - becoming overly focused or anxious about sleep data from watches, rings or other trackers.
Your wearable can be useful, but remember:
• Look for patterns over time, not one bad night.
• Pay attention to how you actually feel when you wake up.
• Don’t let one number decide whether you had “good” or “bad” sleep.
• Focus on the basics - a consistent routine, enough sleep, movement, nutrition and winding down before bed.
• Think of your sleep score as information, not a grade.
Your body gives you information too. 💙
Feel first. Check the score second.
Save this for the next time your watch tells you that you “slept badly.” 🔖
