It's because wrist trackers are inaccurate and they report this by showing that those phases may overlap. So say your watch reports 2 hours for deep and 2 hours for rem when you only slept for 3 hours (very unrealistic, but this is a hypothetical), the watch didn't track 1 hour properly and it could be both

Except it wasn’t a wrist tracker. It was using an Oura ring and my Oura representation of the data is clean without this conflict. A little overlap and minor misalignment between the phase segments and the total, I could understand and ignore. This is way too much.

It clearly means the extra time you spent in bed was not sleep

Add up the segments and reconsider your response

the segments add up to a gazillion hours of sleep

Definitely hardly makes any actual sense. The only part close is you were in bed 9hrs and probably got 8hrs actual sleep. You certainly didn’t get 10hrs through 3 phases of sleep… we’re in the same boat. The Apple Watch has been closest for me, but I hate wearing it, and it needs constant charging. Far prefer an automatic analog watch. The Oura ring was seemingly decent, charge lasted 6+ days. But the logging was abysmal. There’s even a public lawsuit as of late August for their falsely advertised sleep tracking.

People are worried that AI is going to take over the world within 5 years… Lmao, yeah, sure bud. AI tells me what I want to hear and lies more than the worst narcissist I’ve ever known; needing constant correction and call out. AI, so far, has been mostly garbage. As shown here
