Starting Sleep Tracking Only Once I am Asleep

[Rohan Khajuria]

I use the Sleep Tracking feature to keep track of how many hours I sleep each night. However, I also suffer from insomnia so it can take me very long to actually fall asleep. Is there any way that Sleep Tracking can start counting time only once I'm actually asleep? For example, if I go to bed and turn on Sleep Tracking at 10 pm, fall asleep at 11pm, and then wake up and turn off Sleep Tracking at 7am, it'll display 9 hours of sleep. How can I make it display the correct 8 hours?

I know you can manually add hard waits to it for set periods of time, but there's no set amount of time it takes me to fall asleep.

Sleep actigraphy (the technique we use for sleep tracking) is great at telling deep sleep from light sleep, but it is not that great in recognizing awake time when you are not moving from deep sleep. For that we need your help. This is why we have the pausing feature. You can configure it to add another 5 minutes just by flipping the phone. Any pausing time is subtracted from the overall sleep time and thus contributes to the sleep deficit. We have also implemented automatic awake detection based on significant awake-like movements. This works well with a wearable or if you would take your phone to the bathroom with you for example..
