What Component is Pulling You to 70?

Most people scoring exactly 70 have one or two components dragging the average down. Common patterns: excellent duration (90+) but poor WASO (40-50), or good efficiency but long sleep latency (35+ minutes). The breakdown in our calculator shows exactly which component to target.

From 70 to 85: The Fastest Path

If your lowest component is efficiency: sleep restriction therapy can push efficiency from 80% to 90%+ within 2 weeks. If WASO: cooling your bedroom 3-5°F and eliminating alcohol on weeknights often adds 15-20 points to the WASO component within a week. If latency: consistent wake time + caffeine cutoff typically shows improvement within 5-7 days.

The 70-to-85 Two-Week Protocol

1) Fix your wake time (same every day). 2) Cool bedroom to 65-68°F. 3) Set caffeine cutoff. 4) 30-minute pre-sleep relaxation routine. 5) Track daily. Most people implementing all 5 see 10-15 point improvements within 14 days.
