Max Buzz uses automatic sleep detection

The Max Buzz device uses automatic sleep detection to track your sleep. This means that you don't need to turn it on or off—you just need to wear the device during your entire sleep session. Your total time asleep must be greater than 2 hours for the sleep session to be considered validated. You must also sleep for at least 2 hours between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM for the device to capture your sleep.

To track your sleep with Max Buzz, first, press the button on the side of the device to navigate to the Sleep screen. Place your Max into the Max wristband and secure it onto your wrist. While on the Sleep screen, press and hold the button on the side of the device until the screen switches to "SLEEPING".

Once you're done sleeping, sync your Max Buzz device, and your sleep data will be uploaded to your Virgin Pulse account. You can sync your data via USB using the Sync software or wirelessly through the Virgin Pulse mobile application. After 6:00 AM, you can review your sleep data by selecting "Stats" in the "Tracking" drop-down menu and scrolling down to the "My Sleep" chart.

Note that Max Buzz does not recognize multiple sleep sessions in one day. It will only recognize the longest sleep session for a given day. Additionally, if you sync before 6:00 AM, remember to sync again after 6:00 AM to view your sleep data.

Syncing your Max Buzz

Prepare for Sleep Tracking:

Before you go to sleep, press the button on the side of your Max Buzz device to navigate to the Sleep screen. If you don't see the Sleep screen, your device might need a firmware update. Check the "How do I perform a Firmware Update?" article for instructions. Place your Max Buzz into the wristband and secure it on whichever wrist is more comfortable for sleeping. While it is not mandatory to use the wristband for sleep tracking, it significantly improves tracking accuracy.

Start Your Sleep Session:

Once the device is securely on your wrist, you are ready to start your sleep session. On the Sleep screen, press and hold the button on the side of the device until the screen switches to "SLEEPING". Now, you can go to sleep as usual! The Max Buzz uses automatic sleep detection, so there is no need to turn it on or off.

Sync Your Sleep Data:

After you have finished sleeping, it's time to sync your Max Buzz. Make sure you sync after 6:00 AM, as sleep data will only display in your account after this time. You can upload your sleep data in two ways: via USB using the Sync software or wirelessly through the Virgin Pulse mobile application.

Review Your Sleep Data:

Finally, you can review your sleep data online. Log in to your Virgin Pulse account and select "Stats" in the "Tracking" drop-down menu in the top navigation bar. Scroll down to the "My Sleep" chart to view your sleep data. Here, you can also check if you have received any sleep-related rewards, such as the "Sleep > 7 Hours in a night" reward.

Remember, for the Max Buzz to accurately track your sleep, you must wear the device during your entire sleep session, and your total time asleep must be greater than 2 hours. Now, all you need to do is follow these steps, get some good sleep, and sync your Max Buzz to track your sleep progress!
