# Why Can a Sleep Tracker Say I Slept Well When I Feel Exhausted?

My wearable often gives me a high sleep score after a night when I wake up groggy and struggle to focus. On other mornings, I feel fine even though the tracker reports several wake-ups.

How much can wrist-based devices actually infer about sleep stages from movement and heart rate? I’m wondering whether the mismatch reflects limits in **sleep tracker accuracy**, an issue with how the score is calculated, or something worth discussing with a healthcare professional.
