Samsung Gear Fit 2: Tracking Your Rem Sleep?

The Samsung Galaxy Watch and Fit series can monitor sleep patterns, including REM sleep. The sleep tracking function on the Galaxy Fit series is different from the Galaxy Watch series. The Galaxy Watch series can track REM sleep without continuous heart rate monitoring, while the Galaxy Fit series requires manual addition of the sleep feature to the tracker. The sleep management tab is only supported on Android and Galaxy smartphones and is not available on iOS or iPhone devices.

The Galaxy Fit 2 can track REM sleep without continuous heart rate monitoring

The Galaxy Fit 2 can track your sleep patterns, including REM sleep, without continuous heart rate monitoring. The sleep measurement on the fitness band tracks your sleep quality and guides you to get a full night's rest.

To measure your sleep pattern, wear the Galaxy Fit 2 when you go to sleep. Make sure to wear it firmly around your lower arm, just above the wrist. When you wake up, tap the screen to switch to the sleep screen, where you can view your sleep time on the sleep widget screen.

You can also access your sleeping patterns and information in the Samsung Health app on your mobile device connected to the Galaxy Fit 2. In the app, you will be able to see your sleep score, sleep time, sleep stages, blood oxygen levels during sleep, and sleep consistency.

While the Galaxy Fit 2 can track REM sleep without continuous heart rate monitoring, it is worth noting that continuous heart rate monitoring may provide a better idea of your REM sleep patterns as the heart typically beats faster during this stage of sleep.

The Samsung Health app offers sleep coaching options

The Samsung Health app offers a range of sleep coaching options to help you get a better night's sleep. To access these, you must first ensure that your Galaxy Watch or Fit is connected to your phone.

The sleep coaching program will guide you through optimising your sleep. It will first ask you a series of questions about your sleep to determine how best to coach you. Based on your answers and your sleep pattern data, you will be assigned a "sleep animal" and a tailored sleep coaching programme. The animals are: Unconcerned Lion, Sensitive Hedgehog, Nervous Penguin, Sun-Averse Mole, Cautious Deer, Easygoing Walrus, Alligator on the Hunt, and Exhausted Shark.

The app will then create a four-to-five-week coaching programme for you, which includes missions, checklists, sleep-related articles, meditation guidance, and sleep reports. Once you finish the programme, your sleep schedule should be back to normal.

If you decide that sleep coaching is not for you, you can stop the programme and restart it at any time.

The Samsung Health app can record snoring

The Samsung Health app is a versatile tool that can help you track your sleep patterns and improve your sleep quality. One of its features includes snoring detection and recording. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use this feature:

Setting Up Snore Detection:

• Open the Samsung Health app on your phone.
• Tap on the "Sleep" card or tile.

• Tap on "Snore detection" and then on the switch at the top of the screen to turn it on.
• Allow any necessary permissions when prompted.
• Set your preferences for snoring detection, such as "Always" or "Once".
• Optionally, you can choose to record your snoring by tapping the switch next to "Record audio". This requires placing your phone near your head while sleeping.
• You can also set the duration for retaining audio recordings (7 days, 31 days, or 100 days) before automatic deletion.

Using Snore Detection:

• When you go to bed, wear your Galaxy Watch or Fit on your wrist, ensuring it's securely attached.

• Tap on the "Snoring" card to review the previous night's snoring data.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure your watch's sensor is clean and in direct contact with your skin for accurate measurements.
• For optimal snoring measurement and recording, make sure your Galaxy Watch or Fit is connected to your phone via the Galaxy Wearable app.
• You can also utilize the sleep coaching feature in the Samsung Health app. It will assign you a "sleep animal" based on your sleep patterns and provide a tailored coaching program.
