Evidence
Your own history first. Research for context.
daygauge compares each reading with your own recent days. Published research explains why those readings are worth watching.
How findings are worded
Patterns, not verdicts.
Signals
What daygauge looks at.
Sleep
How long you slept and when, compared with your usual window, with stages when your wearable records them.
Movement
Steps and exercise minutes, today and across the last week, against your usual.
Recovery
HRV and resting heart rate as trends against your own average.
Context
Places, habits you log, caffeine, alcohol and weather, compared with the readings above in Insight.
Research
Studies behind the signals.
These studies describe groups of people. They explain why sleep, movement and recovery are worth tracking, but they cannot tell you what will happen to you.
