Deep Sleep percentage way too high

Withings App

Currently, in the Health Mate app, the recommended % of deep sleep is 45% of total sleep. I cannot find any supporting evidence for this percentage. Most literature suggests 1-2h of deep sleep for an avg 8h night (or 15-25%) for a typical adult. Recommend to update recommended deep sleep as such. 45% is way too high, and falsely gives a low sleep score.

    Also, within the “learn more about your sleep score” section of the Health Mate app, it already says “deep sleep should be about 25%” of your total sleep.

    Please simply update the sleep score calculator to be 15-25% (or 20% average) as stated in the “about your sleep score” section.

    Worse than that I find my Scanwatch routinely reports 45-50% deep sleep per night, waxwhich I know is incorrect, as I have multiple devices that can monitor sleep stages. All others fall into the 15-25%range. Sleep detection and stage minitoring is a hot mess on the scanwatch.

    I wonder if REM is being reported as Deep sleep?

     

    I routinely see Deep sleep being reported as 45-50%. Since both are expected to be in the 20ish % of total sleep, that would explain the the high % Deep sleep reported.
