Context Layer

The Context Layer is the third layer of Sleepgenic interpretation. It explains the real-world conditions that may have shaped the wearable score and the body’s physiological response. This layer includes factors such as training load, hiking, running, rucking, recovery days, stress, illness, travel, alcohol, late meals, caffeine, heat, altitude, sleep timing, emotional strain, and environmental conditions. The Context Layer matters because wearable data does not happen in isolation. A low sleep score after a hard summit day may mean something different from a low sleep score after an ordinary rest day. A higher sleep stress reading may reflect training adaptation, illness, poor sleep environment, or unresolved strain depending on what happened before and during the sleep window. Sleepgenic uses the Context Layer to connect the score to real life. It helps explain why the Score Layer and Physiology Layer may agree, disagree, or split in meaning.
