SleepSay Not Recording? Fix Missing Sounds and Nights That Stop Early

No sounds were recorded

A quiet night has no sounds to keep ("A quiet night: no sound was loud enough to keep"). If you know you snored or talked:

Set Sensitivity to High.
Keep the phone within 1 metre of your pillow with the microphone uncovered (not under the pillow or in a case pocket).
Test the microphone in the app's Help page.

The recording stopped during the night

Some phones close apps to save battery. Open Permissions and background and tap Check:

Run all night: turn off battery optimisation and set SleepSay's battery use to "Unrestricted".
On Xiaomi, Huawei, Samsung and similar phones, the brand settings page opens: allow auto-start for SleepSay and choose "No restrictions" for battery saving.
Keep the phone charging all night.

Every clip is saved the moment it ends. If the phone stops the app, the night is recovered the next time you open SleepSay ("Your night was rescued").

Why did my night end early?

The report shows the reason:

Android ended the night before you stopped it	Allow SleepSay to run all night (see above).
