Anyone else feel worse after checking their sleep score, even on a good night?

I'm a sleep coach, so full disclosure on that up front. Not here to sell anything, genuinely curious what this community makes of something I keep running into.

Almost everyone I work with wears a ring or a strap to bed. And there's a pattern I see constantly: someone wakes up feeling fine, sometimes really good, checks the app, sees a low score, and the day changes. Not because anything about their sleep changed, rather because the number told them it should.

There's actually a term for this now, orthosomnia. Basically the pursuit of a perfect sleep score becoming the thing that wrecks your sleep. What gets me is these devices infer sleep stages from movement and heart rate. Even the manufacturers admit the margin of error on deep sleep and REM is wide. But the app doesn't show you a margin of error. It shows you one number out of a hundred, first thing in the morning, before you've even had coffee.

Curious if this lands for anyone here. Do you check the score before or after you've asked yourself how you actually feel? Has a bad number ever tanked a day that was otherwise fine?

I wrote up the research and what's actually helped some people, let me know if you'd like to read it.
