What Is a Recovery Score?

Most sleep apps give you a single number and leave you guessing. NeuroSleep shows a recovery score every morning with a full breakdown you can tap to understand.

The five factors

Your score is a weighted estimate based on:

  1. Sleep duration (25%) — total time asleep vs your target
  2. Deep sleep quality (25%) — deep sleep percentage from stages or estimates
  3. Consistency (20%) — regular bed and wake times
  4. Stress balance (15%) — profile stress, journal tags, and DreamSync check-ins
  5. Sleep continuity (15%) — night awakenings and fragmentation

Where the data comes from

NeuroSleep can calculate recovery from:

  • Apple Health — sleep stages, HRV, heart rate, and vitals from iPhone or Apple Watch
  • Manual sleep log — no watch required; log hours, quality, caffeine, stress, and more
  • Your profile — baseline estimates during onboarding

What it is not

Recovery scores are wellness estimates, not medical diagnoses. They help you spot patterns and adjust habits — always consult a healthcare provider for sleep disorders or medical concerns.
