Profile

Sleep-sensitive profile

This profile keeps sleep timing, routine, rest quality, and likely sleep disruptors close to the center of the record. It changes the fields and wording shown so sleep-related days are easier to review later.

Common scenario "The day was not dramatic, but the sleep disruption mattered immediately. This profile is useful when you want the app to reflect that poor sleep can change the whole shape of the day."

User-chosen context

Optional labels for sleep and routine context

The sleep-sensitive profile gives you optional labels for sleep timing, routine, rest quality, and likely disruptors. These labels simply keep sleep and routine details easier to review when you want them to.

  • You choose which sleep and routine labels to include.
  • The labels are not medical sleep measurement or sleep-health advice.
  • They help later review stay connected to the context you logged.

How the review works

How this profile works

This profile keeps rest, routine, and likely sleep disruptors close to the center of the record so sleep-related days are easier to review later.

Core signals

Sleep-led baseline

The core daily log keeps sleep close to the center of the review. Mood and energy still matter, but sleep context stays easy to see.

Sleep context

Likely disruptors

The profile can keep evening context, routine changes, environmental disruption, and stress carry-over visible where those inputs are available.

Centering

Routine and rest quality

Routine stability and rest quality stay visible too, which helps separate a short night from one that felt restless or off-pattern.

What this profile adds

This is the best fit when you want poor sleep, routine change, and rest quality to remain visible instead of disappearing behind the rest of the day.

What this profile emphasizes

Sleep stays at the center of the review

The main thing you notice in practice is not a more intense tone. It is that sleep context stays closer to the center of the record.

Review language

How the review stays calm

The same broad review approach applies across profiles, but this profile keeps sleep closer to the center when the day record points to disrupted sleep or routine change.

Design rationale

Why the wording stays restrained

"The sleep-sensitive profile is for users who want the app to stay centered on sleep disruption, routine stability, and recovery instead of treating sleep as just one signal among many."

The point of this profile is priority, not diagnosis. It is for people who want sleep quality and routine stability to stay close to the center of the review.

That is why the profile keeps likely sleep disruptors, rest quality, and routine stability easier to review.

It helps users build a clearer sleep-centered record over time without needing more dramatic language.

Review focus

What stays visible over time

Sleep continuity Stress and sleep context Evening context Routine drift Recovery over time
Review note Longer review works best when there is enough logged history. Not every disrupted night needs extra language.
