Sleep++ FAQ
-
For Sleep++ to automatically detect your sleep, you need to provide permission for the app to access your Apple Health data.
If your app is consistently having trouble detecting your sleep it may help to reset your permissions; even if it looks like everything is set correctly, toggling will "reset" the data and often fix the issue.To reset your Health permissions:
Open the Apple Health app on your iPhone.
Tap "Browse" at bottom of the screen.
Tap “Sleep” from the “Health Categories” list.
Scroll down and tap on “Data Sources & Access.”
Find “Sleep++” in the list of apps and services. Tap the button to turn the toggle off, then back on.
After this, ensure that “Automatic Sleep Tracking” is enabled in Sleep++ itself:
Open the Sleep++ app on your iPhone.
Tap “Settings” at the bottom of the screen.”
Find “Automatic Sleep Tracking.” Tap the button to turn the toggle off, then back on to reset it.

Automatic Sleep Tracking uses the Health data collected by your Apple Watch to analyze your sleep.
To capture sleep data, all you have to do in this mode is to wear your Watch to bed.
Manual Sleep Tracking allows you to tell the Sleep++ Apple Watch app when you went to bed and when you woke up.
To change between these modes, use the Sleep++ iPhone app.

Automatic Sleep Tracking uses your activity level to determine when you fall asleep. For example, if you are quiet in bed reading or watching TV, it may mistakenly think you are asleep.

In the Settings tab of the iPhone Sleep++ app, you can enable a “Morning Sleep Summary,” which will send you a notification when you unlock your iPhone first thing in the morning, letting you quickly see the quality and duration of the previous night’s sleep.
If you use Automatic Sleep Tracking, previous nights are only viewable on your iPhone. Sleep data entered manually can be seen both on your iPhone and Apple Watch. -
Nights are labeled based on the date you go to sleep, unless the time is between midnight at 4 AM. In that case, the entry is started on the previous day.
