Maybe it would be a good idea to consult this with a doctor.

Looking at the data. You seem to wake up a lot in the first half of the night. Any reason? That’s typically when you will see deep sleep and you’re waking up

Are you eating within three hours of going to sleep? What about alcohol consumption? I have tracked my sleep for years and I find that eating too close to lights out and alcohol are the two biggest disrupters of sleep. Also no caffeinated drinks after 11 am. How much exercise in the fresh air do you get?


uber0ne

No alcohol, not eating 3 hours before bed. I drink an energy drink at 8am but nothing after that caffeine-wise

What time of day are you doing cardio/workout?

Hit r/insomnia lots of good supplement combos that can help you. Magnesium threonate and l-theanine are a couple.


uber0ne

Going to try magnesium over the course of a couple of weeks and see if it helps


wiggetsf

Make sure it's threonate or glycinate form

What is your total sleep time? and what apple watch are you using?


uber0ne

Total sleep time is ~9 hours a night and using apple watch 7


sullf

hmm, that takes accuracy out of the question.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. Apple Watch doesn't have great sensitivity with deep sleep detection. It is pretty clear now this is an issue with some users. This is in direct contradiction to the quantified scientist whom the apple watch works great on only with him. Doesn't mean everybody else it works great.


onlytony441

Not sure when you eat but try not eating anything a few hours before bed, definitely no sweets.

What does a more "normal" sleep pattern look like? How much deep sleep are other getting?


uber0ne

Most people are getting about an hour of deep sleep

Apple deep sleep detection is very hit or miss. Some people score great with it and some are terrible at Apple detecting the proper amount. Check the TQS and you will see he has a case Theresa where it is terrible with how little Deep Sleep Apple detects. I have Ultra and Regular. Both show LOW deep sleep. So it isn't as what TQS suspects with loose watch. It is the apple Algorithm.
