Helps you actively improve your sleep habits.
Goals are free to use – but let’s be honest to ourselves. Motivation to change your habits is much higher if there is something tangible at stake. Let’s say a few dollars.
Is there any documentation about how or why to set specific goals? For example, there is a preset goal of go to bed 3% earlier. Why would I want to do that, sleep therapists tell me to go to bed later to help consolidate my sleep.
Hello, so far, we have never had a request to allow the goal for later bedtime, may I use it for the suggestion forum?
The goal is preset for the value, that was used the most frequently.
For adjusting your bedtime, you can adjust the Bedtime notification timing, so you can be guided by the Bedtime notifications.
I like @gilmourb’s question and suggestion! I would like to be able to set a specific goal. For example, I improved my sleep start time to 10:30 using the goal, and I loved the motivation! But now it only offers me goals of 3% (9:50pm) or 2% (10:03). I think that is too early because some evenings I have work responsibilities. If I could set the goal to 10:30 (0%), it would help me maintain this bedtime. Also, I would like to be able to set it for nicer times as well, such as 10:15.
Hello! I’m a doctor.
It don’t really matters the time you want to sleep. Some of the studies have shown that there are optimal times of sleep depending on the age and stage of life.
The most important is to follow these and have regular habits of sleeping. I think that’s wrong with the app, that they want to improve de time, but it’s better to improve the habit (time of bed), not the time early and that stuff.
Hello @Fernando_Chavez we absoluitely share your opinion. This is why regilarity index is the central part of the sleep score and you have a regulairty Goal (this is the regular as clockwork goal).
Still for some people it may also be beneficil to try to reduce the fall asleep hour especially if they are socially jet lagged during work week. So having bedtime goal along with Regularty goal may still be beneficial.
