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 can simply go about your sleep routine. However, there are certain criteria that must be met for the Max Buzz to accurately track your sleep. Firstly, you must wear the device during your entire sleep session. This is important because some movement is required for the device to record a validated sleep session. While you don't have to use the Max wristband, it is highly recommended as it significantly improves tracking accuracy.

Secondly, your total time asleep must be greater than 2 hours for it to be considered a validated sleep session. Additionally, you must sleep for at least 2 hours between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM. It's important to note that Max Buzz is designed to capture sleep that occurs during the night, so it may not be ideal for daytime sleepers. After you've finished sleeping, remember to sync your Max Buzz device to upload your sleep data into your Virgin Pulse account.

To review your sleep data, access your Virgin Pulse account and select "Stats" in the "Tracking" drop-down menu, then scroll down to the "My Sleep" chart. You can also view your sleep data in the Sleep Guide by selecting "Sleep Guide" in the "Tracking" drop-down menu. If you're having issues with your sleep data not displaying, ensure that you have not turned off your sleep tracking session prematurely, and that you have synced your Max Buzz device.

In summary, the Max Buzz's automatic sleep detection feature simplifies sleep tracking by eliminating the need for manual activation or deactivation. By wearing the device during sleep and meeting the minimum sleep duration, your sleep data will be captured and can be reviewed through the Virgin Pulse platform.

Wear the device during the entire sleep session

To track your sleep on Max Buzz, you must wear the device during your entire sleep session. This is because the device uses automatic sleep detection to track your sleep. There is no need to turn it on or off; simply wear it while you sleep. The device will only capture your sleep if you meet specific criteria during your sleep session. This includes wearing the device during the entire sleep session, sleeping for at least 2 hours, and sleeping between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM.

It is important to note that the Max Buzz device will not capture your sleep if your total time asleep is less than 2 hours. Additionally, the device is designed to track sleep that occurs between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM, so it may not be ideal if you normally sleep during the daytime. To improve tracking accuracy, it is recommended to wear the Max Buzz device with the wristband. This is because some movement is needed for the device to record your sleep session as validated.

If you prefer not to wear the device while sleeping, you can place it on your nightstand. However, keep in mind that this may result in reduced tracking accuracy. To ensure your sleep session is recorded as validated, it is best to wear the device during your entire sleep session.

After you have finished sleeping, remember to sync your Max Buzz device to upload your sleep data. You can do this via USB using the Sync software or wirelessly through the Virgin Pulse mobile application. Your sleep data will then be available for review in your Virgin Pulse account.

Sync your Max Buzz after sleeping

Syncing your Max Buzz after you wake up is a crucial step in tracking your sleep. The Max Buzz uses automatic sleep detection, so you don't need to turn it on or off. However, to ensure your sleep data is uploaded to your Virgin Pulse account, syncing is essential.

  • Wear Your Max Buzz During Sleep: It is important to wear your Max Buzz device throughout your sleep. The device uses automatic sleep detection, but it needs to be worn to accurately track your sleep. Place the Max Buzz into the wristband and secure it comfortably on either wrist. Wearing the device improves tracking accuracy and ensures your sleep session is recorded as validated.
  • Sync Your Device: After you wake up, remember to sync your Max Buzz. You can do this wirelessly through the Virgin Pulse mobile application, or you can use a USB cable to upload your sleep data via the Sync software.
  • Review Your Sleep Data: Once your data is synced, you can review your sleep patterns and statistics. Log into your Virgin Pulse account and select "Stats" in the "Tracking" drop-down menu. Scroll down to the "My Sleep" or ""Sleep Guide" chart to view your sleep data.
  • Troubleshooting: If you encounter any issues with your sleep data not displaying correctly, there are a few things to check. Firstly, ensure you did not accidentally turn off your sleep tracking session before you were done sleeping. Secondly, confirm that you have synced your Max Buzz device correctly. Lastly, verify that you met the criteria for sleep tracking, including wearing the device during sleep and sleeping between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM for more than 2 hours.

Remember, if you sync before 6:00 AM, you may need to sync again after that time to view your sleep data accurately. The Max Buzz is designed to help you understand your sleep patterns, so regular syncing and reviewing of your data will provide valuable insights over time.

Track sleep with Apple Health or Google Fit app

The Max Buzz uses automatic sleep detection to track your sleep. You don't need to turn it on or off; simply wear your Max Buzz during your entire sleep session, and the device will capture your sleep data. Your total time asleep must be greater than 2 hours between 6:00 PM and 6:00 AM for the sleep session to be considered valid.

If you prefer, you can also track your sleep using the Apple Health app or Google Fit app in conjunction with other apps and devices. Here's how:

Track Sleep with Apple Health App

To track your sleep using the Apple Health app, you need to pair your Apple Watch with your iPhone. When setting up your Apple Watch, you can enable the "Track Sleep with Apple Watch" option. If you pair your devices after setup, you can still turn on this setting later.

To view your sleep data, open the Health app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap "Browse" at the bottom of the screen, then tap "Sleep." You can also add Sleep to your Favorites list to access it from the Summary page in the Health app. The bar graph displays your daily sleep data by default, but you can tap "W" to view your sleep history for the past week, "M" for the past month, or "6M" for the past six months.

Track Sleep with Google Fit App

Google Fit is a central app that stores your fitness information, including sleep data. To track your sleep with Google Fit, you can use a third-party app like Sleep as Android, which integrates with Google Fit. First, download the Sleep as Android app from the Play Store. Set up your alarm settings, then hit "Start Sleep Tracking." Ensure your phone is nearby to record your sleep accurately.

In the morning, swipe up from the "Stop and Save" section and hit the red button to end the session. Your sleep data will be available in the Sleep as Android app, and you can also view it in the Google Fit app by checking the "Sleep" or "Journal" tab.
