Anti-snoring#

The Anti-snoring feature monitors for snoring sounds while you track your sleep and uses gentle audio cues or subtle vibrations to prompt you (or your partner) to change positions and stop snoring.

In addition to audio and vibration alerts, you can also set compatible Smartlight devices to flash when snoring is detected.

⚠️ Warning Anti-snoring prompts (similar to Lucid Dreaming features) can interrupt your sleep. We strongly recommend using the Preview function before sleeping to ensure the intensity isn’t too strong.

How to Enable Anti-snoring#

To turn on and configure Anti-snoring, navigate to: Settings → Sleep noise analysis → Anti-snoring

Configuration Options#

When Anti-snoring is enabled, you can customize how the app responds when snoring is detected:

Alert Type#

Choose how the app should alert you:

  • Sound: Plays an audio clip through your phone.
  • Vibration: Vibrates your phone or connected smartwatch.
  • Both: Plays the audio clip and triggers vibration simultaneously.

Sound#

  • Default Sound: Tongue Clicking - a universally recognized prompt used to gently disrupt snoring.
  • Custom Ringtone: Choose a preferred audio cue.

Volume#

Adjust the playback volume of the audio cue to balance effectiveness without fully waking you.

Repeat#

Set the repetition count for the audio or vibration cue to increase its effectiveness.

Force Headphones Only#

By default, Anti-snoring plays audio through both headphones and the phone speaker simultaneously. Turn on this option if you wear headphones and want to avoid disturbing your partner with speaker playback.

Previewing Your Settings#

Use the Preview option to test your alert configuration before going to bed. The test is especially important for Force headphones only option, to make sure the system uses the expected sound stream.

💡 Wearable Vibration Note

  • During Preview: Both your phone and connected wearable will vibrate simultaneously so you can test the sensation.
  • During Normal Sleep Tracking: Only your wearable will vibrate if one is connected and active for tracking. This ensures your partner isn’t disturbed by phone vibrations.

❓ FAQs & Troubleshooting#

Why is Anti-snoring not working or giving alerts?

If anti-snoring alerts or vibrations are not triggering, check these common device blocks:

  • Do Not Disturb (DND) Mode on Phone: System Do Not Disturb settings can suppress notification sounds or alerts. Ensure Sleep as Android is added to your DND exception list, or adjust app notification settings to allow alerts during DND.
  • Bedtime / Theater / Sleep Mode on Watch: Many smartwatches automatically silence or block all haptic vibrations when set to Bedtime, Theater, or Do Not Disturb mode. Check your smartwatch settings to ensure app vibrations are allowed during sleep tracking.
  • Check Microphone Permissions: Ensure Sleep as Android has permission to access your microphone in your phone’s system settings.
  • Phone Placement: Position your phone nearby with the microphone clear, ensuring it isn’t muffled by pillows, blankets, or heavy cases.
  • Check Sleep Noise Analysis: Ensure that Sleep noise analysis is enabled under Settings → Sleep noise analysis.
My phone and watch both vibrate during preview, but only my watch vibrates at night
  • This is intentional: The preview triggers vibration on all connected hardware to test functionality. During actual tracking, vibrations are routed exclusively to your wearable to keep night alerts quiet.

  • Lower the volume or repeat count: Reduce the volume slider or lower the repetition frequency in Settings → Sleep noise analysis → Anti-snoring.
  • Switch to Vibration: Try using wearable vibration instead of audio prompts for a gentler nudge.
