Sleep timing

[Angiepangielou]

I am very confused about the sleep timing  for the energy score on the watch app. According to this, the ideal time to go to sleep is between 11pm and 2am. I wake up at 5:30am, so if I went to sleep between those times, I would be a walking zombie the next day. It doesn't make any sense at all. It's bringing my scores down and basically making me feel like I'm doing something wrong. Then in the sleep section, it recommends getting 7-9 hours of sleep per night. So these two things are conflicting. Please change this Samsung. No one should be going to sleep between 11pm and 2am on a working week night when they need to wake up early. That is unhealthy.

According to the explanation of the optimal range, that figure is determined by by "most people's" circadian rythms. The slider shows where your bedtime was in relation to that. It does *not* tell you when you should go to bed. Your energy score is based on your total sleep time, not what time you went to bed. Also, have you set your personal sleep target? Go to the sleep tile, tap on menu, tap on sleep target and enter your normal bed and wakeup times. This wil help gauge sleep consistency and whether you are hitting your target.


I don't need an "energy score" to tell me whether I am tired or not. I think it's a useless measure. Nothing in the sleep analysis takes into account any temporary or chronic health issues that may be going on that could affect sleep, and there is no place to make notes to account for it. So, until they do that, I view the whole sleep statistics thing as an imperfect tool, and the energy score is just a useless novelty addition. They could have spent their coding hours making more significant improvements to the app overall, such as adding things people have actually been asking for--specifically, notes, and the ability to edit the bed time.
