The Samsung SLEEPsense is a system designed to help users track, improve, and understand their sleep patterns. It records data using a device placed under the mattress, requiring no additional hardware interaction once positioned.
Function Description
The SLEEPsense tracks heart rate, respiration rate, and movement to calculate various sleep stages throughout the night using a unique sleep algorithm. A daily sleep score is calculated based on these parameters, allowing users to assess their sleep quality. In the morning, users can view a graphical display of their sleep cycles and a daily summary of key sleep parameters, including the time it took to fall asleep, the number of awakenings, and actual sleep time. The system provides personalized daily tips to continuously improve sleep quality.
The SLEEPsense app offers several features:
- Overview: Displays the last sleep summary and provides access to daily, monthly, and "Things" tabs.
- Diary: Allows users to log their behavior before sleep, such as alcohol or caffeine consumption, exercise, and meal times. This helps track how these factors affect sleep quality.
- Smart Alarm: A smart alarm clock that wakes users during an optimal point in their sleep cycle within a user-defined time range. It aims to prevent grogginess from waking up during deep sleep. Two snooze options are available:
- Smart Snooze: Silences the alarm for five minutes but will not re-alarm if the user falls back into deep sleep or is already out of bed.
- Persistent Alarm: The alarm will continue to ring until the user is out of bed. If the user returns to bed within 90 minutes, the alarm will re-activate.
- Smart Sleep (Air Conditioner & TV Integration):
- Air Conditioner:
- Good Sleep Mode: Automatically adjusts the air conditioner's temperature to a preconfigured profile to optimize sleep. If the AC is off, it defaults to 26°C (78.8°F).
- User Customization: Allows users to define three temperature settings for before falling asleep, during sleep, and upon waking.
- TV:
- Turn off When Falling Asleep: Gradually reduces TV volume over two minutes and then turns it off when the system detects the user has fallen asleep.
- Family Care: Enables users to send a summary of their last night's sleep report to a designated email address at a scheduled time.
- Settings: Allows users to adjust app preferences, including:
- Profile: Edit personal details like name, birthday, gender, weight, height, and number of people in bed.
- Sensor Connectivity: Connect or change the sensor the app is linked to via Bluetooth.
- SmartThings: Activate SmartThings to connect the SLEEPsense to other SmartThings appliances.
- Units: Change units for height, weight, and temperature, and toggle 24-hour format.
- Tutorial: Replay the initial setup tutorial.
- About SLEEPsense: View information on open-source licenses, terms & conditions, privacy policy, and the current version number.
- Daily Sleep Summary Report: Provides a detailed breakdown of sleep, including sleep score, sleep time, time to fall asleep, times awakened, sleep efficiency, deep sleep, and REM. A graphical summary shows sleep depth, heart rate, respiratory rate, and movement trends throughout the night.
- Monthly Sleep Summary Report: Displays monthly sleep summaries, allowing users to select a single day or a range of up to fourteen days to view sleep score components, diary entries, and comparative graphs.
- Things: Provides remote control functionality for paired Air Conditioners, allowing users to adjust temperature and wind level.
