Sleep schedule when working shifts

robiris 19 days ago

I work a shift schedule that includes night shifts. 
Do I have to adjust my sleep schedule each week to make the tracking work properly? 
Or is my sleep automatically tracked correctly? 
And what's the point of entering sleep schedule times?

I believe the sleep schedule is for setting do not disturb times, color shift, extra dim - the night time settings. The watch should track your sleep whenever it happens regardless of the sleep schedule. You should be able to set DND on when you go to bed and turn it off when you wake to achieve a similar effect.

This was an issue for me with Venu 2 and 3 as well. It seems it's not fixed in 4 either, so I guess I'll just look for other brands.

Hello -

Scott is correct - Sleep times are primarily used to engage the Sleep Focus mode on the Venu 4 (the settings mentioned live in the Sleep Focus now). The schedule allows you to set times by day of the week.

Sleep times and sleep stages are identified by using a combination of heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV) and body movement data. Age information that you enter during setup, along with detected personal physiological baselines, provides valuable context for the analysis and improves the reliability of your sleep tracking.
