Goals#

Setting a sleep goal gives you a structured, rewarding way to gradually improve your sleep habits. Whether you want to go to bed earlier or increase your total sleep duration, Sleep as Android tracks your progress over a 1-month period (or 14 days).

Setting Up a Goal#

To create your goal:

Open the Left Menu (☰) and select Goals.
Choose the metric you want to improve (e.g., Bedtime or Sleep Duration).
Use the + and - buttons to set your target goal in the central bubble.
(Optional) Select a motivation message to remind yourself why you started.
Choose your commitment level:
- 🆓 Free: Try the challenge without any stakes.
- 💲 Small Wager (~$2 USD): Put a minor financial incentive on yourself.
- 💲💲 Large Wager (~$4 USD): Boost your motivation with higher stakes.
Tap Set your goal to confirm.

Understanding How Goals Work: The “Sleep Bank”#

Instead of demanding strict perfection every single night, Sleep as Android uses a flexible “goal bank!” system:

Meeting your target: Keeps your progress right on track.
Exceeding your target (e.g., going to bed early): Builds up a surplus (“savings”).
Missing your target (e.g., staying up late): Creates a deficit (“borrowing minutes”).

💡 Example: If you stay up late on Friday night, you don’t instantly lose your goal! You can “repay” your sleep bank by going to bed a bit earlier on Sunday. As long as your average line stays in the green by the end of the 30 days, your goal is successful.

Reading Your Goal Progress#

You can track your progress anytime from the Left ☰ menu → Goals or directly on your Dashboard Goal Card.

The Timeline View (The Race)#

The Human vs. The Hourglass: Shows your actual progress compared to the elapsed time.
In the Lead: If the runner icon is ahead of the hourglass, you are on track to succeed.
Falling Behind: If the runner icon is behind the hourglass, you need to catch up over the next few days to hit your final goal.

Progress Charts Breakdown#

Daily Column Chart:
- 🟧 Orange Line: Represents your target goal.
- 🟪 Accent Bar: You met or exceeded your goal on this day.
- 🟥 Red Bar: You missed your target on this day.
Average Trend Line:
- Visualizes your moving average across the entire month compared to your target orange line. It shows if your overall habit is improving over time, even with occasional spikes.

❓ FAQs & Troubleshooting#

Do I lose my wager if I miss my bedtime once?

No. Missing a single night will not forfeit your goal. Goal success is based on your cumulative 30-day average, not daily perfection. As long as your overall balance stays positive at the end of the month, you pass.

Where does my wager go?

Wagers are powered by Google Play in-app purchases. Placing a wager adds financial incentive to help form habits, but you can always select the free tier if you prefer not to bet. If you finish your goal sucessfully, the goal will be credited to your Google Play account.
