Your Sleep Score in FITIV Pulse shows how well last night's sleep supported your recovery. It uses data from your Apple Watch or other compatible wearable and gives you one clear number each morning, so you know where you stand before the day starts.
What is the FITIV Sleep Score?
The Sleep Score is a number from 0 to 100 that measures how well you met your personal sleep needs. It combines the quality and the duration of your sleep into a single result.
Your score is calculated after you wake up, once your wearable syncs last night's sleep data with FITIV Pulse.
Why Does Your Sleep Score Matter?
Your Sleep Score reflects the quality of your recovery, which directly impacts your health, fitness, and daily performance. With data from Apple Watch or other wearables, FITIV provides actionable insights to help you:
- Recover faster from physical activities.
- Improve mental clarity and focus.
- Boost your mood and energy levels.
- Enhance overall health and longevity.
✅ Success Tip: One night does not define your progress. Watching your Sleep Score over several weeks shows you which habits help and which ones hold you back.
How Is the Sleep Score Calculated?
FITIV analyzes four parts of your night. Each one tells a different piece of the recovery story.
- Sleep Efficiency: Percentage of time spent asleep versus time spent in bed.
Coach Tip: Avoid distractions or prolonged time in bed while awake.
- Heart Rate Dip: The reduction in heart rate from day to night, which signals recovery.
Coach Tip: Avoid intense workouts and heavy meals late in the evening so your heart rate can settle before bed.
- Sleep Stages: Time spent in light, deep, and REM sleep, all of which are vital for restoration.
Coach Tip: Establish a consistent bedtime routine to enhance all stages of sleep.
- Time Asleep: The total duration of your sleep session, minus awake periods.
Coach Tip: Aim for the recommended 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night for adults.
These metrics combine to offer a holistic view of your nightly rest and recovery.
Sleep Score Levels
1. Excellent (85 or higher): You met or exceeded your sleep needs. Your body had what it needed to recover and be ready for the day.
Success Tip: Aim for this level consistently to maintain peak physical and mental health.
2. Normal (70 to 84): You met your typical sleep needs. This level gives you adequate recovery and supports a healthy balance between activity and rest.
Success Tip: Maintain habits that promote consistency in this range to optimize recovery.
3. Low (below 70): Your sleep fell short of your needs. You may not be fully recovered, so this is a good day to go easier and prioritize rest tonight.
Success Tip: Prioritize improving your sleep duration and habits to enhance recovery.
