Using Sleep as Android
Sleep as Android is a third-party sleep-tracking app that can be used with Samsung Gear S3. It can differentiate between lying lethargically in bed and actual sleeping, and it provides an in-depth analysis of your sleep pattern, REM cycle, and smart alarm. Here is how you can use Sleep as Android with your Samsung Gear S3:
Installation
First, check if your device is supported by Sleep as Android. Then, install all the required parts. The Samsung Galaxy Gear integration consists of three parts. Go to the Galaxy App Store, find the Sleep as Android app under Apps > Health and Fitness, and download it. Alternatively, you can download it directly on your Samsung phone by clicking on this link.
Enabling the Connection
Now, you can enable the connection in Settings → Sleep tracking → Wearables → Use wearable → Samsung Gear / Galaxy Watch. Then test the connection in Settings → Sleep tracking → Wearables → Test sensor. You should see a graph reacting to your movement (a short delay is normal, data are sent in batches).
Troubleshooting
If the Samsung Galaxy Gear app is stuck on "Start tracking", make sure you have the Sleep as Android Gear Addon installed on your phone and updated to the latest version. Disable all battery savers on your phone for all involved apps (Sleep as Android, Sleep as Android Gear Addon, Samsung Accessory Services). Samsung Accessory Services sometimes misbehaves and prevents third-party apps from connecting to the watch. Please uninstall and reinstall it.
Sensor Tracking Integration
To enable sensor tracking integration, go to Sleep as Android – Settings – Wearables – Galaxy Gear/ Galaxy Watch. It’ll ask you to download and install a small plugin from the Internet. Then, to make sure you have set up the connection properly, click on the option that says "test sensor". If you did everything right, you’ll notice a popup on your Galaxy watch asking you to start tracking.
Sleep Tracking
To start sleep tracking, go to the Sleep as Android shortcut and tap on it. This will launch the sleep tracking on your smartphone (even if it’s locked) and automatically start tracking. You will have to do it manually each time before going to bed. However, you can set up a smart alarm in the Sleep as Android app, which will naturally wake you with a small nudge in your hand when you are in your light sleep.
