Samsung's sleep function is a feature that allows users to monitor their sleep patterns and improve their sleep quality. It is available on various Samsung devices, including the Galaxy Watch and Gear Fit series. To use the sleep function, users typically need to enable it in the device settings and wear the device while sleeping. The device will then track sleep patterns, including sleep duration, sleep stages, blood oxygen levels, and snoring. This data can be synced with the Samsung Health app, allowing users to view their sleep score and compare it with others in the same age and gender groups. Additionally, there are silent modes available, such as Do Not Disturb and Bedtime Mode, which can be activated to minimise disturbances while sleeping.

How to enable the sleep function on Samsung Gear Fit
To enable the sleep function on the Samsung Gear Fit, you need to install a third-party app such as Sleep as Android. This is a sleep tracking app that is compatible with the Samsung Gear Fit 2.
To set up Sleep as Android, first, install the Sleep as Android Gear Addon on your phone. You can find this in the Google Play Store. Then, install the Sleep as Android watch face on your Samsung Gear Fit 2 via the Galaxy Wearable app.
Once the app and watch face are installed, you can enable the connection in the following way: Settings > Sleep tracking > Wearables > Use wearable > Samsung Gear/Galaxy Watch. You can then test the connection by going to Settings > Sleep tracking > Wearables > Test sensor. You should see a graph reacting to your movement.
There is also a Samsung Health app that can be used for sleep monitoring on the Galaxy Watch. To use this, you need to ensure your Wear OS Galaxy Watch is connected to your phone via the Galaxy Wearable app. Then, open the Samsung Health app on your watch, swipe to Settings, and tap the switch next to Blood oxygen during sleep to turn it on.
If you are using an older model, you may be able to access the sleep function by going to Settings > Advanced features (or Advanced) and toggling Turn on now.

Troubleshooting the Sleep as Android app
If the Samsung Gear app is stuck on "Start tracking", try the following troubleshooting steps:
- Ensure that you have the Sleep as Android Gear Add-on installed and updated on your phone. If the Add-on was previously force-stopped, open the Play Store app, go to the Add-on page, and tap "Open".
- Disable all battery savers on your phone for all involved apps (Sleep as Android, Sleep as Android Gear Add-on, and Samsung Accessory Services).
- Disable Border lights for Sleep as Android in your device’s settings.
- Uninstall and reinstall Samsung Accessory Services, as it sometimes misbehaves and prevents third-party apps from connecting to the watch.
- Ensure no system restrictions are applied to Sleep or any involved apps like the wearable companion app.
- If the tracking stops after a few minutes, your system may be restricting background processes.
If you are experiencing issues with the Galaxy/Gear Add-on for Sleep, try the following:
- Ensure your watch is running Tizen OS and that you have the Gear companion app installed.
- If the app is not functioning correctly, go to the Play Store, click "Open", and reset the app.

Silent modes on Samsung Gear devices
Samsung Gear devices offer a range of silent modes tailored to different settings and needs. These modes are particularly useful in environments where you need to minimise disturbances, such as in cinemas, libraries, or while sleeping. Here are some of the silent modes available on Samsung Gear devices:
Do Not Disturb Mode
Do Not Disturb mode silences all notifications, with the exception of alarms. This mode can be activated by swiping down from the top of the screen to access the Quick Settings panel and then tapping the Do Not Disturb icon. For earlier Galaxy Watch models, you can access this mode by going to Settings > Advanced (or Device for Gear Fit2 Pro) and then tapping Do Not Disturb. You can also enable Do Not Disturb mode by using the Galaxy Wearable app. Open the app and select Watch Settings > Notifications. From there, you can sync Do Not Disturb with your phone and customise the settings to allow specific notifications.
Theater Mode
Theater mode silences all alerts, alarms, system sounds, and turns off certain features, such as "Watch always on" and "Wake-up gestures". To activate Theater mode, swipe down to access Quick Settings and tap the Theater mode icon (it looks like a clapperboard). Choose the desired duration for this mode. Alternatively, you can enable it by going to Settings > Advanced (or Advanced Features) and toggling Theater mode on. Theater mode can also be activated using the Galaxy Wearable app. Please note that Theater mode is not available on the Galaxy Fit, Gear Fit2 Pro, and Gear Fit2.
Sleep/Goodnight Mode
Sleep mode, also known as Goodnight mode on earlier models, ensures alarms still function while muting other notifications. To enable Sleep mode, swipe down for Quick Settings and tap the Sleep mode or Goodnight mode icon. Alternatively, you can go to Settings > Advanced Features (or Advanced) and toggle it on. On Wear OS models, you can schedule Sleep Mode to automatically activate. Goodnight mode can also be activated using the Galaxy Wearable app, although it is not available for the Gear Fit2 Pro and Gear Fit2 and will only sync on Wear OS models.
