use "sleep-as-android" without the sleep tracking, only for the stats

[Linne]

Hi,

"sleep-as-android" is a nice app, but I think the sleep tracking is not more than a gimmick and it succs a lot of power.

So I would like to use for the alarm and to track how long I sleep an check the sleep deficit stats.

So my question: Can I deactivate the sleep tracking?

Thx

Linne

Hello Linne, 

thank you for the feedback. Sleep tracking it definitely is not a gimmick. It is using actigraphy and there is planty of papers which show good results of this method for sleep tracking. Please see more details here: https://sites.google.com/site/sleepasandroid/graphs.

Regarding battery use. Usually this is not caused by the sleep tracking directly as this is usually not consuming too much battery (according to our test sleep tracking does not consume more than 1-2% battery per hour of tracking on a factory resent Nexus phone), but because we hold a wake lock (keeping the phone awake) any other usually badly written apps may access the CPU extensively during the sleep tracking time. I would suggest checking which services are running before you get to sleep. For us it is hard to debug this. Also battery statistics are not a hint here as all battery consumption is accounted to the app which holds the lock even it did not consume the battery - this is by design in Android.  

I good test would be to reboot your phone before sleep tracking (or kill any unnecessary services running) and see if sleep tracking will still consume so much battery afterward.

But if you like to skip sleep tracking altogether, no problem. You can still use all the features such as alarms, CAPTCHA, time to bed and related features, you just don't start sleep tracking and you can enter your sleep manually using the +moon icon in sleep graph screen.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Petr

" you just don't start sleep tracking and you can enter your sleep manually using the +moon icon in sleep graph screen."

yes, but that's the point. I don't want to enter my sleep manually. I would prefer and general option "disable sleep tracking" (for the sensor). but I still want to click the button "start sleep tracking" (or "goto bed", or whatever) so that I have the start time and the endtime (when I stop the alarm) automatically in the stats. This function is given in the app "SleepBot", but I would prefer to use "Sleep as android".

Cheers

I want to do this too, such an obvious setting missing, right now you need 3 touches Everytime for something that can be configured to do with just 1, too bad sleep or doesn't have S health integration.

Jiri replied Feb 13, 16:32 Hi, thanks for your reply. Sleep actually does have S Health integration -- check Settings > Services

Sorry autocomplete error, I meant sleepBot since someone mentioned that app has that feature, anyway I found this in the "features request" section, so please everyone interested in this vote for it:
