Logging sleep manually

Automatic sleep detection

In most cases, the app automatically detects when you’re sleeping, so there’s no need to log it manually.

When sleep is detected, a banner appears at the top of the Now tab. From there, you can:

Confirm the detected sleep time
Edit the detected sleep time
Dismiss the suggestion by tapping the X icon

Tapping the banner opens the Sleep Summary screen, where you can explore detailed insights from the previous night.

Where to view your detected sleep

You can see both confirmed and unconfirmed sleep entries in the Timeline.

Unconfirmed sleep

Appears as a non-color-filled sleep pill
Tap it to accept or reject the detected sleep

Confirmed sleep

Appears as a color-filled sleep pill
Tap it i to find the edit icon.
Tap the edit icon to modify the sleep time if needed

When to log sleep manually

If the app didn’t automatically detect your sleep, for example, during short naps or irregular sleep periods, we recommend logging it manually. This helps prevent data gaps that could affect your Sleep Regularity, Sleep Duration, and the accuracy of AI-generated reports.
