Does Recording All Night Drain the Battery? SleepSay Battery Tips
On this page (4)
SleepSay keeps the microphone open all night, so it uses some battery. Each report shows exactly how much.
See your battery use
The night report shows, for example, "Battery: 82% → 61% · 2.6% an hour", or "charging during the night".
Tips
- Keep the phone on charge. SleepSay warns you: "Plug the phone in: listening all night uses battery."
- The dark recording screen uses very little power; the screen can turn off.
- If the battery is almost empty, the night ends early so the phone does not switch off ("Ended early: the battery was almost empty").
Storage
Only the moments with sound are saved, so a night uses little space. Keep at least 500 MB free; with less, SleepSay shows a low storage notice. Use Keep audio for 7, 30 or 90 days to delete old audio automatically; reports, numbers and starred clips stay.
Run all night
Turn off battery optimisation for SleepSay (Run all night), otherwise Android may stop the recording in the middle of the night. See SleepSay troubleshooting.
