TL;DR<\/p>\n

Samsung lets Galaxy Watch users track their sleep and computes a \u201csleep score\u201d number.
\nRecently, some Galaxy Watch owners have noticed their sleep scores rising through the stratosphere.
\nWith no obvious behavioral changes to blame, this may be due to a change in the sleep score algorithm.<\/p>\n

Data makes talking about certain subjects enormously easier, and that\u2019s probably no more true than it is for quality of sleep. Sure, you could subjectively rate your experience as sleeping well or not, but it\u2019s long been very difficult to actually compare that with anyone else\u2019s experience, or even track our own experiences night-to-night. Fitness trackers and smartwatches have been absolutely game-changers<\/a> in this regard, empowering us to finally do some data-driven analytics on what\u2019s probably the biggest part of our lives that we\u2019re also least aware of. But are you sure you can trust that data?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a question that we spotted a number of Galaxy Watch users pondering over on Reddit, where user dylanchadderton<\/a> got a post going about some curious changes to their sleep scores.<\/p>\n

Like many other smartwatches, Samsung Galaxy Watch software monitors movement and other sensor data to calculate a sleep score<\/a> between 1 and 100 for the quality of your night\u2019s rest. While a lot goes into computing that number, it ultimately gives you a single, convenient point of comparison. And as a result, lots of us think about ways we can try and optimize our sleep in order to push that figure higher.<\/p>\n

At least, you\u2019d think that some kind of behavior change would be necessary to see any major shift in your sleep score numbers, but over in that Reddit discussion, we\u2019re seeing multiple Galaxy Watch users all report the same phenomenon: their sleep scores used to be nothing special (maybe in the mid 70s), and then all of a sudden, over the course of the last few days, those numbers are solidly up in the high 90s.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re immediately thinking that Samsung must have done something to change how it calculates that score, you\u2019re not alone, as that\u2019s the sentiment repeated by almost everyone who reports noticing this phenomenon \u2014 they don\u2019t seem to notice it correlating to any real change in their sleep routine.<\/p>\n

At least, that feels like it would be the most obvious explanation, but we\u2019re open to the possibility of it being something unexpected, and have reached out Samsung asking about these incidents and whether or not something has indeed changed with the way Galaxy Watch software calculates your quality of sleep. We\u2019ll update you if and when we hear anything. Until then, enjoy what\u2019s apparently some exceptionally high quality rest!<\/p>\n
