Wear at night

[daves221]

Does the s3 have DnD?

Yes.. You can set a schedule or use it manually

Tested last night and it worked pretty nicely and was totally automatic. Compared it to the results on the MS Band 2 (where i manually set the sleep tracking on every night) it yielded almost the same results, only about 5min off from the Band 2.

Although te notification about the sleep came like on hour after I had woken up

If you just want to test this feature,it is OK,but if you wear a watch when you are sleeping.
I think it is foolish,no offense,but wearing such a big watch is uncomfortable.

What a stupid thing to say.

Not a problem for me as I have used to wear watches, fitness bands etc on my wrists even on night. Can't see any stupidity in it. If you can't wear them, doesn't mean anyone cant.

Pretty narrow minded there. I wear it at night for the following reasons...

-Track deep sleep hours
-Nightlight for walking to the toilet in the dark
-Easy time check if I happen to wake up
-Vibrating alarm so I don't have to wake up my wife.

Exactly.

And if we talk what is uncomfortable, the MS Band 2 which I have used is really, really umcomfortable. Puts a real stress to your wrist in some situations. So the S3 is like breeze compared to it.

I also don't use my phone as a alarm clock anymore, as don't wanna wake the significant other. So i have used the MS band2 to wake me up but now I can pretty much leave it to the S3. Just have to see where i can make it only vibrate on alarms with no sound

Alright,personally I won't wear anything It makes me hard to fall asleep.

I wore mine for two nights and it never tracked my sleep. is there something on the phone that needs set before it will track?

Nothing needs to be changed in the phone. Just wear the thing and it should track your sleep

Set up your sleep goals in shealth and that should help ur tracking

After thinking it might be a bit too big to wear at night, I've been doing so for the past couple of weeks with no problems

 

[daves221]

so the sleep tracking is pretty cool .. I can see when I was still, not still, etc. and see my efficiency which seems to hover around 93% so based on a quick google search I should be happy about that. But, I can also track the basics of start & stop sleeping on my note 5, which does an amazingly good job at figuring out when I was sleeping (start and stop) mostly b/c these phones seem to be on us 24/7.

Besides checking sleep efficiency periodically and then trying to do something about it if it's too low, have you guys found anything that's actionable or otherwise helpful about tracking sleep in detail? Besides a cool chart, why do it? Or is it only useful if something's wrong or one is feeling consistently tired?

I charge my S3 over night but I do use my fit2 for sleep tracking which works well and comfortable

My watch is often warm in the morning which cements my decision to wear it at night. A common problem with wirelessly charged devices.

The thing that i don't like about the sleep tracking is that it breaks up perids of the night when ive been up for longer than a minute or two. For example, if i wake up at 2:00 to answer nature's call and then read a few minutes, it treats these as two separate instances of sleep and only reports on the last one rather than combing them anaccounting for the wake time in the sleep effiviency rating.

I actually got a bed that does this. Pretty sweet.

I've had the opposite experience. I'll get up and move to the couch and read for 45 minutes in the middle of the night and S Health will still track it all as one sleep. It's actually really impressed me.

Alright I'm the only one who could not wear anything to fall asleep.

 

[sjfwhite]

Is this an S2 or S3? Last night I only woke up to take a pee, went back to sleep immediately, and it created a discontinuity in the sleep record. Talk about irritating.

Edit: Do you have WiFi turned on on your watch? I don't and am wondering whether I am walking out of Bluetooth range and that is what is causing the problem. Will check tonight.

My bed has sensors in it. I don't wear a device while I sleep.
