Application for Recognition of Sleep Score Judgment
The subject felt rested upon waking until a device issued a numerical correction.
OFFICIAL APPLICATION Application for Recognition of Sleep Score Judgment as Standard Waking Conduct Applicant: The Person Who Felt Rested Until a Device Issued a Lower Opinion Reference Period: Any morning, recurring
Section 1: Background
The applicant woke at 7:14 AM feeling, by subjective assessment, well rested. The night's sleep was uninterrupted. The room was dark. The body felt prepared to begin the day.
The device was consulted at 7:15 AM.
The device reported a sleep score of 61. This figure was accompanied by a color-coded indicator suggesting the sleep was below the applicant's recent average. The device noted that REM cycles were shorter than optimal and that the applicant had moved more than usual in the final two hours.
The applicant now felt tired.
Section 2: Governing Rule
Any action framed as the last one before sleep may renew itself once. The applicant had checked the device before bed to confirm the alarm was set. The device displayed a pre-sleep readiness score at that time. The pre-sleep score was 74, which the applicant interpreted as promising.
The 61 contradicted the 74 and also contradicted the applicant's own perception.
Sleep Score Judgment adds one more action before sleep. That action creates a second condition that must be checked before the night can officially end. Bedtime becomes a closing procedure whose administration keeps everyone awake.
Section 3: Request
The applicant requests formal recognition that sleep score judgment constitutes standard conduct, and that the experience of feeling rested is provisional until device-confirmed.
The applicant further requests acknowledgment that consulting the score after good sleep is equivalent to not having had good sleep, in that both result in tiredness.
Section 4: Supporting Evidence
The applicant has felt rested and then not rested on eleven separate mornings this month. On eight of those mornings, the score was consulted within two minutes of waking. On three mornings when the score was not consulted, the applicant felt rested for the rest of the morning.
This evidence is attached as Exhibit A, which the applicant has not yet created because the applicant is tired.
Status: Application filed. Device remains on the nightstand.
