Across 301 recorded nights in 2026 you average 6h 06m — and 151 nights (50%) fall under 6 hours. February and March were the worst stretch of the year; September was the best full month. When you do sleep, you stay asleep — it’s still duration, not continuity, that’s short.
Average nightly duration per month, with the count of nights under 6 hours. March is the low point (5h 27m, 21 of 29 nights under 6h); September is the best full month (6h 34m). November is partial — 8 nights only. This chart is context only: to jump to a month, use the Month menu in the sticky control bar above — every control now lives in that one bar. Months inside the current window are outlined and the rest dimmed.
Dashed amber = 7h target · dotted coral = 6h line. Bars below 6h are coral. Use “Back to year” in the control bar to return to the full year.
Tap any bar in the duration chart, any timing strip, or any table row — the same night lights up in all three views at once, and the table scrolls to its row. Your selection stays pinned when you change the window: if it falls outside, this panel keeps showing it with a note until you clear it from the control bar, and it highlights again as soon as the window includes it. Split sessions on the same night are summed.
Semantic zoom: at year scale each bar is a week’s average, stacked Deep → REM → Core + unspecified — tap a week to zoom into its individual nights, then tap a night for detail; “Back to year” in the control bar zooms back out. The solid line is the 7-night rolling average of total sleep; the dashed amber line is the 7-hour target —
One strip per night, from bedtime to wake time across an evening-to-afternoon window. Coral strips are nights under 6 hours. The list scrolls inside the panel at year scale — bedtime stays around 10–11 PM; it’s wake time that swings. This view follows the same window and zoom as everything else, and the selected night is banded and outlined here too.
151 of 301 nights (50%) are under 6 hours, the median night is just 5h 59m, and only 81 nights reach 7 hours. The full-year average of 6h 06m is close to the autumn slice (6h 11m) — short sleep is a year-long pattern, not an October problem.
March averages 5h 27m with 21 of 29 nights under 6h — the worst month of the year. February is next at 5h 33m (17 of 28 under 6h). Together Feb–Mar average about 5h 30m across 57 nights, well below every other two-month run.
September averages 6h 34m with only 9 of 30 nights under 6h, ahead of April (6h 31m) and August (6h 30m). November starts even higher at 6h 46m, but that’s only 8 nights (Nov 1–8), so it isn’t a full-month comparison yet.
Weekdays average 5h 56m and weekends 6h 30m — a gap of about 34 minutes over the full year, roughly half the ~1-hour gap seen in Sep–Nov alone. Deep sleep stays low all year at 38 minutes a night, with REM at 77 minutes — the stage mix never really changes, even in the good months.
Sort by any column. Coral totals are nights under 6 hours. Selecting a row highlights the same night in both charts; selecting a night in a chart scrolls this table to its row and marks it. The table scrolls inside the panel — use the sticky control bar to narrow it. Efficiency is asleep time as a share of time in bed as recorded by Health.
