Apple Health lies to you about your six months sleep average

I was confused about why my average sleep duration over six months was so high, so I decided to investigate. I found out that, for some reason, the six-month calculation doesn’t use the actual number of days but instead uses the magic number 147 to calculate the average.

"This is a little app that showcases how a multi-trillion company like Apple Inc lies to you about your sleep average over six months to make you feel better"

I think a different tone and maybe assume there is good intent instead of immediately claiming it is something malicious (lies by a trillion dollar company) would help with the messaging.

I am curious. But how you present this doesn't really help.

Yeah. "They screwed up." is a much more credible explanation.

My 6 month data is definitely wrong but it is hilariously more wrong for the time periods I was traveling 6-8 time zones away from home where it's telling me I averaged from 6:05pm to 6:00pm (a cool 24 hours) while showing a graph that has an 8 hour window where I'm not sleeping.

Other than that it's somehow giving me an average of waking up around an hour later than I'd actually wake up.
