According to this article by Fitbit, most users earn a sleep score between 72-83. Since the score is out of 100, and the display on iOS shows up as a circle that I have failed to close, I am wondering if anyone has ever actually earned a sleep score of 100. Is it actually possible to achieve this goal? If so, how? Were strong sleeping pills involved?
(Edit to add: No, I do not take sleeping pills, I do not drink, and I do not want to take any substances. I made this comment because I believe the scoring system sets an impossible standard. And no, I am not buying premium just to see the math).
Honestly, even on a night when I slept for over 10 hours with plenty of deep sleep, my “score” was still only an 84. It seems impossible to earn above the low 80s.
It feels like I am taking one of those impossible “weed-out” classes in college where nobody earns above a B- and the prof doesn’t give As on principle. Is that the model here?
If it’s not really possible to get a sleep score of 100, why is the sleep score configured to look like an achievable “goal” from which we have somehow fallen short? If we are doing everything in our power to get good sleep, and we still cannot earn 100 or even 90, what’s the point of it? Fitbit has been so useful for helping me to set and reach goals. Why create a goal that is inherently unattainable?
