How do I set up sleep tracking in Sleepiest?

Thank you for being part of the Sleepiest community. If you’d like to use sleep tracking in the Sleepiest app, you’ll need to make sure your device’s health app is set up and that Sleepiest has permission to access your sleep data.

This article explains how to set up sleep tracking and what to do if your sleep tracking is not recording correctly.

🌙 How Does Sleep Tracking Work?

Sleepiest pulls sleep data from your device’s health app.

On iPhone, this means Sleepiest uses data from the Apple Health app. On Android, Sleepiest uses the equivalent health or fitness app available on your device.

For sleep tracking to work correctly, your device’s health app needs to be set up first, and Sleepiest needs permission to read and write sleep data.

🍎 How to Set Up Sleep Tracking on iPhone

To make sure Sleepiest has permission to access Apple Health data:

1. Open your iPhone Settings app

2. Tap Health in the Apps section

3. Tap Data Access & Devices

4. Tap Sleepiest

5. Toggle on Allow Sleepiest to Write

6. Toggle on Allow Sleepiest to Read

This allows Sleepiest to mirror sleep data from the Apple Health app.

📱 How to View Sleep Tracking in Sleepiest

Once your health permissions are set up, you can view sleep tracking in the Sleepiest app.

To open sleep tracking:

1. Open the Sleepiest app

2. Select Sleep Tracking from the bottom menu

For most users, Sleep Tracking will appear automatically on the bottom menu.

If you’ve moved Sleep Tracking off your bottom menu:

1. Tap the three dots “...” in the bottom-right corner of the menu

2. Tap Sleep Tracking

🔄 What to Do if Sleep Tracking Isn’t Recording Properly

If your sleep tracking hasn’t been recording correctly, the connection between Sleepiest and your health app may need to be reset.

Please try the steps below:

1. Uninstall the Sleepiest app completely from your device

2. Reinstall Sleepiest from the App Store

3. On your iPhone, go to Settings

4. Tap Privacy & Security

5. Tap Health

6. Tap Sleepiest

7. Toggle off all data permissions

8. Open the Sleepiest app

9. Set up Sleep Analysis again

10. Select the required data permissions as you go through setup

This should refresh the connection between Sleepiest and Apple Health and help sleep tracking start recording again.

🤖 Using Sleep Tracking on Android

If you’re using an Android device, please make sure your device’s health or fitness app is set up and that Sleepiest has the required permissions to access sleep data.

The exact steps may vary depending on your Android device and health app.
