While Rory Mcllroy was winning the2025 Masterslast weekend, other twenty-somethings probably partied until the wee hours.

I bagged myself a 100% sleep score.

Unlike most weekends, I had nothing in my calendar besides recharging between weeks of work and marathon training.

Without social plans in the way, I decided my main priority would be resting and sleeping well.

Your sleep score is a numerical rating provided by your sleep tracker.

Different brands use different algorithms and metrics to give you this score.

But I’m not always quite as dedicated to a consistentsleep scheduleover the weekends.

However, with no social plans, there was nothing standing in my way this weekend.

By 10pm it was lights out and I was soon snoozing.

Keeping my window ajar is a simple way of cooling down my sleep space.

Plus I’m able to enjoy the fresh feeling of having a little breeze flow through my bedroom.

From improved mood to more energy, there are many benefits to waking up to natural light.

Waking up gradually as natural daylight streams in through your window allows you to complete all necessary sleep cycles.

This is far more humane than being jolted awake mid-cycle by a blaring alarm.

Spending ample time in these sleep cycles contributed to my high sleep score and I woke up feeling refreshed.
