How We Sleep With Garmin – World Sleep Day
Updated: 12th July 2024
Unsurprisingly, the data also found that Garmin Sleep Score decreases with age, with those aged 13-30 averaging 73 and those aged 31-40 averaging 71. 41-50-year-olds saw an average score of 70, with those aged 51-60 getting a score of 68, 61–70-year-olds managing an average of 66 and lastly, 71–80-year-olds getting an average sleep score of 63.
Whilst the Dutch are the best sleepers in the world, the Brits are catching up and are the most improving nation.
The UK’s average sleep score according to Garmin Connect data is 71.43, up from 69.29 last year.
Sleep score and accompanying insights are lifestyle-oriented additions to compatible Garmin watches with advanced sleep tracking. Here, a Garmin watch captures when a wearer falls asleep and tracks sleep stages, including light, deep and REM sleep.
My favourite mattress is the Simba Hybrid Mattress which aids a good night’s sleep – I have two. I thought my dog, images below, was vaguely Simba-like (Simba being a lion). Sorry, it’s the best I could do. Note this bed in our spare loft room also has a Simba topper. Quality toppers can be a great way to make older mattresses more comfortable for a few more years or they add a super luxury comfort boost to an otherwise great mattress – ie what we did.

Dutch sleep score might be a bit off. I’m dutch and my fr 965 detects sleep while I’m clearly awake.
Garmin sleep score is a bit bs, which makes this garmin report also a bit bs.
