Similarly to the main Dashboard screen in the latest version of Sleep as Android you can also personalize your Sleep detail and Morning briefing screen. You can swipe unnecessary cards away or pin important cards to the top.
Morning briefing can be customized independently on Sleep detail. So if you decide you want to see weather at the top in the morning just long press the weather card.
At the same time we have kept all the advanced edit feature with selecting certain duration and zooming into the graphs in the next screen, when tapping on Edit.
Hope you will enjoy this new look. Please let us know what you think in the comments below.

Is it possible to allow zooming and detailed values on these graph cards? Without the ability to zoom in, I find little value in the individual graphs.
Hello Michael, many thanks, we have separated zooming and edit from the overview as combining both into one screen made it boated and chaotic.. you can still zoom in and use the edit features on the next screen after you pres Edit.. did that address your concerns?
Could we please allow the option to put everything back on one page? I loved
Is it possible to allow the option to return all information to a single card, as it was years ago? I wake up pissy and don’t want to hunt for details.
I understand the idea behind separating the information, but I thought it was great when everything was on a single graph.
_from a support conversation_
Why is everything so spread out on my morning graphs? Can we please stop changing how it looks and making it harder to read? How do I revert it to how it was before?
How do I customize it so that it’s not cards with most the screen space wasted and instead a single card with all the details presented in a concise easy to read graph like it was a couple of years ago?
Hi Petr
My big wish would be to be able to zoom in further on the overview/combined screen with or without the individual panels. I find the level of zoom on the overview to be a little lacking as it’s hard to ascertain why certain events occur from up high. Many of the watch sleep tracking charts allow quite granular zoom to within minutes and allow you see individual value/data points. This would be a killer feature in my opinion as right now I need to export and use another app to do it. I also preferred seeing the circles above the overview as these change if you edit the session.
An alternative would be a very granular linked zoom on this new morning briefing page?
@Michael many thanks for your feedback, based on it we are returning some features to edit screen, such as score and graph legend toggles..
Hi Petr,
I agree with Lenka Rohr’s comment and have the same concerns.
I still use the original tab mode homepage, because the dashboard look is less concise. This new morning briefing page looks like the dashboard home screen mode that I don’t get along with.
In the morning, after I rate my sleep and press the check mark the spread out morning graphs are very difficult to interpret synergistically. I used to look at the older morning brief graphs and intuitively understand the relationship between the peaks and valleys of my heart rate, my movement, my noise, my actigraph, and the histogram all in a single view and have an understanding of my night. That was because they were all on one concise screen.
As it is now, the morning briefing is worthless to and simply in my way. So I close it, go back into graphs mode, and look at my concise graph in that view. I wish I could toggle my morning briefing to go back to a single screen view, which allowed me to intuitively merge metrics and understand my night in its entirety at a glance.
I can’t find the sleep deficit graphs anymore. Did you get rid of them?
This is terrible, i hate it! The usability of this app got worse and worse over the past few years. Years back everything was shown in one single screen which was perfect, then the comments werde hidden in a menu and the ugly and way too big circle things were added so one has to scroll left/right to see things that overlap the screen edge like snoring time iex…. and NOW: You add a giant page were I have to scroll up and down in an endless list with so much screen space wasted. I’m angry, this UI Design sucks! While I do understand, that some people may want to sort or hide certain graphs or want to zoom in here and there, please also think about those people who want to see everything combined at a single glance in the morning without scrolling around left/right or top/down.
I just got this update yesterday and was pretty surprised by the new layout when I stopped tracking today. I appreciate the changes, but the one thing that made me roll back to an older version was the behavior of tags and the tag list. It used to just add the tags I tapped and keep the list where I’d scrolled it, but with this update it’s resetting the list to the start with each tag I add to the entry, so I have to keep rescrolling. I would also love to see an option to switch to the more condensed graphic, with the bars and the line graph overlaid together, but that one’s not as crucial for me.
Hi,
As a user of Sleep as Android for many years, I have tried to adjust to the new app layout rather than switching to a different app. However, I am still frustrated with it for the following reasons:
* The new “card-like” layout adds too much space between the graphs and spreads them out unnecessarily; using the image provided above as a reference, only ~3 graph cards display on my phone screen at one time, with the time scale (that is, the sleep hours) too far away from any graph and scrolling off the screen as I scroll down –> I know I can re-order the cards now, but I’d rather not need to do that each time I’m scrolling
* The comment card cannot be pinned to remain on the screen at all times in the (“sleep detail”?) view above. If I am typing in a comment and then want to see when a noise event happened and scroll down to check the detail, I am exited from the comment field and all my prior typing is lost.
* If I go to the “edit” view (by tapping on any of the graphs), then at least I am able to view most graphs together on a single screen. However, if I want to comment, the comment window covers most of the graphs (and expands to cover more of the graphs as I type), which is once again a frustration.
The prior version of the UI pinned the comment box to the bottom of the screen (consuming a minimal amount of space unless I chose to expand to an overlaid box), allowing me to type in my sleep notes while scrolling up or down on the graphs without affecting my comments. The graphs were packed tightly together, with minimal space wasted (a benefit for a small screen). The time scale was on the bottom of the Actigraph and above the Hypnogram; though not ideal, given everything was visible on the screen it worked.
If the card approach is the future, I would suggest these improvements:
* As a user option, offer a “condensed view” which removes the card title (that is likely superfluous for veteran users) and the “white space” between the cards
* Display the time scale at the bottom of all cards rather than as a separate entity; alternatively, allow user to specify which cards have the time scale
* Provide a way to pin the comment field to the top or bottom with minimum adornment so that user can comment while scrolling through the various graphs
Thanks for your consideration.
Hello Cooperman, sleep deficit si still there, please scroll down and tap on Hide / Show maybe you have accidentally removed a card?
Hello Michael, many thanks for your feedback. We will consider it..
Many an idea for @Michael, what about switching to the edit screen to get a more compact view of the different measurements?
Hi Petr
By the edit screen, do you mean the page with combined metrics that you can zoom into a bit? What I’d like to see is the ability to confirm values at a given time. Maybe a deeper zoom isn’t even necessary if the we can pin point a data point? Something like this that allows you to read values at a given point? https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/5c2qd3u3e8vdyjg151ehg/AIGRvdLAZFUf_pKVjGXOtRc?rlkey=6b3a7s8sqmhvspfy556rikfci&st=6sw13c27&dl=0
It comes from seeing say drops in spo2 but not being able to confirm the values.
What do you think?
Thanks
Michael
