Waking up at 3 a.m. was ruining my sleep score — until I tried the 7:1 sleep rule and now I'm hitting 90

A woman lies asleep in bed looking comfy, in the bottom right corner is a screenshot of a 92 sleep score from the Withings Health Sleep App.

I was a sleep tracker skeptic until I got my Withings Sleep Analyzer and now I check my metrics every morning. For a long time my sleep score has hovered around the low-70s, but recently I noticed my sleep score tracking upwards. The other day, I finally cracked 90. And it's all thanks to the 7:1 sleep method.

This simple rule, backed by a huge new study, prioritizes consistency over hacks and it's given my sleep the boost it needs. The best sleep trackers take in a range of metrics before giving your final score and with the 7:1 sleep rule, I'm pleasing all those data points.
