Sleep Assistant - Sleep as Android

There seems to be an issue with the AI’s interpretation of the sleep disturbance value (according to the attached screenshot, this SHOULD be called AHI Apnoea Hypopnea Index… Is the AI giving wrong info here?).

The AI is telling me that as I have a Sleep Disturbance Value of 1, which is lower than the national average in my country, then it indicates possible issues.

I think that the logic here is reversed. The lower the Sleep Disturbance Value, the better. I use a CPAP machine, so I do expect the AHI to be lower than 5 (my target is lower than 2).

I mentioned my circadian rhythm disorder to the assistant and it gave incorrect treatment information.
Is there any way to limit its ability to provide poor medical advice?
Sure, it says to speak to your doctor, but that doesn’t justify poor information/advice. I was not given the option to correct it/inform it like you can with Chat GPT.

This feature won’t be useful for me, but I hope it helps others… But I mostly hope it doesn’t mislead anyone.

I tried this and used the “How did I sleep last night” question. That made me want to k iw what it would say about Sunday’s sleep. There is not an option to check any past nights sleep. Would also be nice to maybe see a comparison of 2 different sleep cycles.

Also, a tad off topic, but it did mention my snoring numbers, how does the app seperate snoring from continuous allergic rhinitis that can sometimes sound like snoring? And yes, that is a thing.

Hi @ShoalBear,
EDIT: sorry, I was mistaken and deceived by the Assistant’s answer…

Regarding allergic rhinitis - this sound will probably confuse the algorithms into thinking it might be snoring. To design a new sound class for rhinitis, we would need hundreds of thousands of samples of confirmed rhinitis sounds - so the algorithms can learn to recognize them.

@b_j in fact you can, we use a grounding approach, we first restrict the answer to only relate to the data we have provided, then we explain what are correct ranges and what is good / bad or neutral so we specify very carefully the whole playground and we only ask the AI to summarize it in human language and translate it to user’s langauge…

This approach greatly reduces any risk of hallucination of the AI, but of course theme may be issues which can be addressed by further restricting the scope. We can work iteratively here and fine-tune, but for that I would need to see what promt did we send to the model so that I can first reproduce it and then modify the promt so that the problem is fixed…

Thanks for the reply @lenka-urbandroid I appreciate it.

I am glad to hear that the app doesn’t differentiate snoring from rhinitis. Now I can relax a bit about that issue.

Maybe there could be an addition of that info on your page about snoring stats, etc?

When AI compares my sleep with others, it mentons stats about my snoring, heart rate variability and breathing - 3 things i am not tracking at all?
(I might have tried those options a few times in the past, but that was at least a year ago)
Also, if you ask to compare your sleep when others, which period does it look at? Last night, last week, last month?

It’s most likely because you use Sonar as the tracking method, it can measure your breath and heart beat alongside the things accelerometer can do

I had a similar experience. The app tells me I don’t snore, and I don’t. But comparison with others, the app said my snoring is beyond the healthy limits.

I asked a follow-up, could this be my husband’s snoring. AI replied this is a misunderstanding, my sleep data does not contain evidence of snoring.

When tracking snoring, I have noticed the app never tracks my husband’s snoring although it is loud. (That’s impressive!) So, maybe there is some kind of a bug as the AI says I snore more than average although the data says I don’t snore.

@petr-urbandroid @lenka-urbandroid reporting this because I like to help you, I have been using the app since it was brand new. I like the AI feature and its replies are beyond my expectations.

Could you name the AI “The Sleeping Droid”? Pun intended


The AI tells me my regularity is improving (I go to bed earlier) but my duration in the short term has gone down. For 2 nights I woke up several hours before the alarm. The AI / app does not pay attention on such instances (very short sleep, waking up hours before alarm) but seems to assume the wake up time is single factor. Whether wake up time is planned or accidental and how it is associated with wake up pattern and alarm is crucial, I hink.

Hi @Saara,
the regularity and duration can go the opposite way, it all depends on your data set.
Regularity is derived from the SRI index (the probability of you being in the same state (asleep or awake) at any two time points 24 hours apart).
In which direction did the SRI change in your recent history?

(what about the Sleep AI - Android Intelligence :slight_smile: ?)
