Left ☰ menu#
The Left ☰ menu is your central hub for navigation and quick access to all of Sleep as Android’s powerful features.
Tap the ☰ icon in the upper left corner or swipe from the left to expand the menu.
On phones with gesture navigation, you may need to tap and hold the edge for a second before swiping to access the menu.
The content of the Left menu adapts based on your chosen home screen:
- Tabs Home Screen: Features currently shown as active tabs are hidden from the menu to reduce clutter.
- Alarms Only Mode: Sleep tracking features remain hidden until you have at least one tracked sleep record.
Chronotype#
Based on your tracking history, the app automatically determines your chronotype (Morning Lark or Night Owl). Once identified, a unique banner representing your sleep personality appears at the very top of the menu.
The app requires at least one month of sleep data to accurately determine your chronotype.
According to research by Professor Till Roenneberg, chronotypes are innate, with everyone falling somewhere on the spectrum between 100% Owl and 100% Lark. Our SleepCloud study reached the same conclusion.
