How to Record Snoring and Sleep Talk with SleepSay
On this page (4)
SleepSay listens through the night and keeps only the moments with sound. In the morning every sound is waiting on a timeline, ready to play. Everything is recorded and analysed on your phone: no account and no uploads.
Step 1: Get the phone ready
- Put the phone near your bed, within about 1 metre of your pillow, with the microphone uncovered.
- Plug in the charger.
- Check the Ready for tonight? list: Microphone allowed, Charger connected and Battery optimisation off. Tap Fix next to anything that is not ready.
Step 2: Choose your settings
- When to start: now, or in 15, 30 or 45 minutes, so you can fall asleep first.
- Sleep sound: rain, ocean waves, wind, fireplace, brown or pink noise during the start delay. It fades out before the microphone opens, so it never ends up in your recordings.
- Sensitivity: raise it if quiet talking is missed.
- End the night at: recording stops by itself at your wake-up time. Add a Wake-up alarm if you like.
- Snore nudge: the phone buzzes briefly when it hears snoring, a hint to turn onto your side.
Step 3: Start the night
Tap Start the night. SleepSay first learns the normal sound of your room, then records only what stands out. The screen can turn off. Steady noise such as a fan or traffic is ignored.
To stop recording, hold the stop button. A short tap does nothing, so a hand in the dark cannot end the night by accident.
Step 4: Open your report in the morning
You get a notification when the night report is ready. The clearest talk of the night is at the top. See Understanding Your SleepSay Morning Report.
Tip: turn on the Bedtime reminder so you don't forget to start the night. Before you go to sleep you can also try the Breathing exercise (4-7-8, box breathing or slow breathing).
SleepSay records sound in your bedroom. If you share the room, let the other person know. SleepSay is not a medical device and does not diagnose snoring, sleep apnea or any other condition.
