Do not worry if the numbers look unfamiliar at first. The sleep card is just a friendly summary of how you slept last night. You do not need to read every line. The card is there to help you spot patterns over time, not to grade your sleep.
How to find the card
- Open MigraineMe.
- Tap the Monitor tab at the bottom of the screen.
- Scroll down until you see the Sleep card.
What the card shows by default
The Sleep card on Monitor shows three things:
- Duration. How long you were asleep last night.
- Fell asleep. The time you fell asleep.
- Woke up. The time you woke up.
Tap the card to open the Sleep detail view, where you can see efficiency, stages (deep / REM / light), disturbances, and how today compares to your recent days. You can also choose which metrics appear on the card from the detail view.
You do not need to memorise any of this. MigraineMe handles it for you.
What a normal night looks like
There is no single "right" answer. A normal night for one person is unusual for another. What MigraineMe really cares about is your own usual pattern.
If you usually get seven hours and last night you got four, the card will gently flag that. If you usually go to bed at 11pm and last night you went at 2am, that also matters.
What if the card is empty
This happens for a few simple reasons.
- Your sleep app has not synced yet. Sleep often takes an hour or two to appear after you wake up. Try again at lunchtime.
- You did not wear your watch or have your phone near you. Without a tracker, there is nothing for MigraineMe to read. On Android, MigraineMe can estimate your sleep times from phone use if that is switched on in the Sleep section of Data and Notifications.
- The connection to Apple Health or Health Connect is off. There are separate short guides for each. Check Settings, Connections to see the status.
Pulling down to refresh
If you think the data should be there on an iPhone, give the screen a small tug. On Android, switch to another tab and back to Monitor instead.
- Put your finger near the top of the Monitor screen.
- Slide it down two or three centimetres.
- You should see a small spinning circle.
- Let go.
Within a few seconds, the screen will update.
Turning sleep off
If you would rather MigraineMe did not look at your sleep:
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen.
- Tap Data and Notifications.
- Open the Sleep section.
- Turn off the sleep metrics you do not want collected.
You can turn it back on at any time.
A reminder
The sleep card is here to help, not to worry you. Bad nights happen to everyone. MigraineMe is looking for patterns, not perfection.
