NapBot, Sleep Watch and Sleep++ are smaller sleep apps for iPhone. Each one writes to Apple Health, and VertigoMe reads from Apple Health. They are iPhone only. On Android, see How to connect Sleep as Android.
Step 1: Make sure VertigoMe can read sleep from Apple Health
- Open VertigoMe.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen. A drawer slides in from the left.
- Tap Connections.
- Find the Apple Health card at the top and tap Connect. If it already says Connected, skip ahead.
- A short VertigoMe note explains what will be read. Tap Continue.
- Apple's permission sheet slides up. Tap Turn On All, then Allow.
Step 2: Turn on Apple Health sharing in your sleep app
For NapBot
- Open NapBot and open its settings.
- Tap Apple Health.
- Turn on Write to Health.
- On the permission screen, tap Turn On All, then Allow.
For Sleep Watch
- Open Sleep Watch and open its settings.
- Find Health Integration or Apple Health.
- Turn on Write Sleep to Health.
- On the permission screen, tap Turn On All, then Allow.
For Sleep++
- Open Sleep++ and open its settings.
- Tap Apple Health.
- Switch Write Sleep Sessions on.
- On the permission screen, tap Turn On All, then Allow.
Step 3: Check that it is working
- After your next night, open the Health app, tap Browse, then Sleep.
- Open VertigoMe, tap the Monitor tab and scroll to the Sleep card.
What VertigoMe does with your sleep
VertigoMe reads how long you slept, your sleep stages and how often you woke. You see it on the Sleep card in the Monitor tab. Short or broken sleep is a common factor people with vestibular conditions notice before a bad day, and once you have logged enough spins, VertigoMe can show whether your own sleep lines up with your spins in Insights.
Troubleshooting
"Health shows my sleep, but VertigoMe does not"
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone (the grey gear, not the one inside VertigoMe).
- Tap Apps, then Health.
- Tap Data Access & Devices.
- Tap VertigoMe.
- Make sure Sleep is on.
"I have more than one sleep app and the numbers do not match"
VertigoMe merges sleep from all your Apple Health sources, so a night tracked by two apps counts once. If you only want one app to count, turn off sleep writing in the other app's Apple Health settings.
