Your sleep
collected for you

duration, timing, stages and disturbances

Bad nights and loud days often turn up together, and nobody wants to write down how they slept. TinnitusMe takes the night from your wearable, your health app or, on Android, the phone alone, and compares it with your loud days. When the night itself is the hard part, the sounds are one tap away.

why sleep?

Pooled across seven studies and 3,041 people with tinnitus, 53.5% had impaired sleep.

Where the night comes from

Garmin, Oura, Polar and WHOOP connect directly; Apple Watch and most other devices come in through Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android. On Android the phone can estimate the night on its own: with usage access it reads the longest screen-off gap between 8 in the evening and noon as your sleep, ignoring gaps under two hours. An iPhone does not share that, so there sleep comes from Apple Health or a wearable.

Compared with your loud days

Each sleep measure is tested against your spikes the same way as every other factor. What Strengthens You shows the other side: the sleep habits that turn up on your days with no spike. Missed sleep is also a one-tap trigger for the nights no device saw.

When sleep is the hard part

Trouble sleeping is one of the symptoms you can add to a spike. The Sounds card on Home plays one or two loops with a stop timer, and a session of a minute or more is noted by the app itself, so you can later see whether nights with sound go with quieter days.

Where it lives in the app

Monitor and then Sleep: last night at the top with duration, when you fell asleep and when you woke, then efficiency, disturbances, score and the deep, REM and light stages, with the history underneath. Data lets you pick the source for each sleep metric. The Sounds card with its stop timer is on Home.

What it needs from you

A wearable, Apple Health or Health Connect for stages and a score. On Android, with usage access, the phone on its own gives timing and duration. History graphs and the comparison in Insights are part of Premium; the night itself is collected on the free app.

Questions

Can the phone measure sleep without a watch?

On Android, yes, for timing and duration: with usage access it reads the longest screen-off gap between evening and noon as your sleep. Stages and a score need a wearable or a health app. On iPhone, sleep comes from Apple Health or a wearable.

Which sleep sources work?

Garmin, Oura, Polar, WHOOP, Apple Health on iPhone, Health Connect on Android, and the phone itself on Android.

Is sleep a trigger or a measurement?

Both. Each night is saved as numbers. When one of them crosses its line, a sleep trigger is added for that day, so sleep is tested like any other factor.
