Using the telo connector, look at my last three months of sleep and work out whether the time I go to bed predicts how well I sleep. Compare my earliest nights against my latest ones and show the numbers for both groups.

telo read sleep, 90 nights

Nights that started before 23:00 averaged 7.4 hours asleep. Nights that started after 00:30 averaged 6.6. That is 30 nights in each group.

In bed before 23:007.4 h
In bed after 00:306.6 h

19 of these 30 nights were weekends, so bedtime may not be the cause.

What it reads

  • Three months of sleep sessions, with start time, time asleep, stages and time awake

Where the answer can go wrong

Late nights tend to come with other things: weekends, travel, alcohol, a late dinner. A difference between early and late nights is an association, and the bedtime may not be what causes it. Ask whether the gap still holds on weeknights only.

Can I do this without telo?

You can export Apple Health from the Health app and upload part of it, but an export is a snapshot of one day, and the full XML is usually too large for a chat to read whole. The prompt still works as a checklist of what to look at. telo keeps the history synced so the assistant reads it directly.
