How to Configure Your Morning Sleep Log Reminder

Who this is for: Anyone who wants a daily reminder to log their sleep before the memory of it fades.

Garrett, a long-haul truck driver who wakes up early and logs his sleep about half the time, wants a 6 AM reminder to help him stay consistent.

Steps

1. Navigate to the Settings tab using the bottom navigation bar.
2. Tap "Notifications."
3. Toggle on "Morning Reminder."
4. Grant notification permission if prompted — your device will show a system dialog asking whether to allow Better Sleep to send notifications. Tap "Allow."
5. Set your reminder time. Tap the time field and adjust to when you typically wake up. The default is 9:00 AM.
6. Confirm the setting. The app shows "Morning reminder set for [your time]."

The next morning at your configured time, you'll receive a notification: "Good morning! How did you sleep? Tap to log." Tapping the notification opens the sleep log entry screen directly.

Expected Outcome

A push notification fires each morning at your configured time. Tapping it opens the sleep log entry form pre-filled with defaults so you can log in under 30 seconds.

Notes

• The reminder can be toggled off at any time from Settings → Notifications.
• The reminder time can be changed at any time — the new time takes effect from the next morning.
• On web (no push notifications), the app shows an in-app banner on the Home tab if you haven't logged today.
• The notification respects your device's Do Not Disturb settings — if DND is active at your reminder time, the notification may be silenced depending on your device settings.
