How To Enable or Disable the Snore Response Feature
The Snore Response feature is split into two types of responses; "Smart Snore Position", and "Smart Snore Pulse". To enable or disable these features, navigate to Menu > Snore Response, in the Sleeptracker-AI® app. The feature is enabled if the toggle is set to the "On" or green position.
↦ IMPORTANT: for a two-user setup, individual snore responses can only be obtained with a split base that is set to move separately. For all other configurations, keep in mind the entire base will respond if a Snore Response feature is enabled. If you'd like to disable Snore Response, ensure both your and your partner's account has the features disabled.
- To set a split base to move separately, refer to the How-To Guides page.
- To ensure your split base is correctly configured, check your setup here.
How the Snore Response Feature Works
When it comes to the Snore Response feature, please keep in mind:
- Your sleep is analyzed by the Sleeptracker-AI® algorithm on the Cloud. The Sleeptracker-AI® algorithm looks for patterns of snoring and when it detects intense and sustained snoring, a command is sent from the Cloud to the processor under your bed to respond to the snoring. By the time this happens, the sleeper may or may not still be in the intense snoring phase — they may be at the tail-end of it, or snoring may have stopped.
- The Snore Response feature monitors for specific vibration frequencies associated with snoring while breathing. Usually, this vibration makes an audible “snoring” sound, however, snoring may also be non-audible (with the snore vibrations still happening in your body).
- When a Snore Response event is triggered, the next response will not trigger until at least 30 minutes have passed. This is in an effort to reduce the number of disturbances to the sleeper(s).
- One should not conclude that because there are snore events graphed, this means the base should have triggered the Snore Response feature. The graphed snore events do not define the intensity of the snore events. They can include all types of snore events that the algorithm picked up, ranging from very small snore vibrations that are detected in your respiratory structures (which may or may not have an audible sound), to intense snoring.
- The accuracy of the Snore Response feature requires the smart bed to be set up correctly, and depends on the sensor's ability to detect micro-vibrations. If you’d like to double-check and ensure your smart bed is correctly configured, select “Check Setup” below.
What are Snore Events?
Snore events (the teal dot above the breath rate line) are graphed when the Sleeptracker-AI® algorithm detects any type of snoring (i.e. short and not intense snoring to long and intense snoring). You are able to view the duration of the snore event by tapping on the snore event.
Alternatively, you can hold your finger anywhere in the breath rate graph, glide it across the graph (left or right), and pause over a snore event you’d like to view. Furthermore, after you tap and hold somewhere in the graph, you can move your finger off the breath rate graph entirely (while still holding) and still be able to pan left and right — this will make it easier to see the graph while you're panning across it.
Keep in mind, snore events do not correlate to the numbers on the y-axis, as the y-axis is the breath rate value for the breath rate line. By the way, you can also interact with other graphs on the Sleep Analysis page, and the Sleep Analysis page can also be viewed in landscape mode.
