Sleep and recovery

Your watch's own 0–100 summary of the night, combining duration, stages and restlessness.

Higher means the night covered your sleep need with more deep and REM sleep and fewer interruptions.

Total time asleep (deep + light + REM).

More total sleep is generally the goal — within a healthy range it supports recovery.

Time in deep, slow-wave sleep — physical recovery.

More deep sleep is generally better — it's when most physical recovery happens.

Time in REM sleep — dreaming and memory consolidation.

More REM is generally better — it supports memory consolidation and mood.

Time in light sleep.

Time spent awake during the sleep window.

Less is better — less time awake in bed means more consolidated, better-quality sleep.

Average stress level measured during the night (0–100).

Lower is the goal — the night is when the body is meant to recover, not stay activated.

Garmin's energy-reserve estimate (0–100) — higher means more in the tank.

Higher is better — a fuller energy reserve means you're more recovered and ready.

Garmin's suggested time until full recovery before hard training.

Lower is better — less suggested recovery time means you're more recovered.

Garmin's average stress score (0–100), derived from HRV. Lower is calmer.

Lower is better — a calmer average stress score reflects better autonomic balance.

Highest stress score reached during the day (0–100).

Lower is better — a lower daily stress peak is calmer.
