Friend getting better scores with worse metrics?

Hi community! Hoping someone smarter than me can help me understand how the sleep score is weighted.

Comparing the 2 scores above, I would have expected the second one (the 77 score) to be better given that the deep sleep, time asleep, time awake and sleeping HR are objectively better. The 84 score only wins out on REM and restlessness. Why would one be 7 points lower than the other? Does REM and restlessness have the largest bearing on the score or am I missing something else?

Also look at your configured sleep target. You see a star in the section ‘time asleep’ in the 84 score screenshot. If you set it lower, like 7 hours or so it will increase your ‘time asleep score’. And indeed lower REM sleep and higher restless (tossing and turning) will decrease your score.
