Sleep
Sleep Efficiency Calculator
Measure what percentage of your time in bed is actually spent sleeping β a key clinical marker of sleep quality used in insomnia diagnosis and treatment. Efficiency above 85% indicates healthy sleep; under 80% suggests insomnia or fragmented sleep that warrants investigation.
