SLEEP INFORMATION IN THE POLAR FLOW APP AND WEB SERVICE

The Polar app tracks your sleep time and quality (restful / restless) if you wear the M600 at night. You don't have to

turn the sleep mode on. The app automatically detects that you're sleeping from your wrist movements. Sleep time,

and its quality (restful / restless) is shown in the Polar Flow app and web service .

Your sleep time is the longest continuous rest time that takes place within 24 hours starting from 18:00/6pm to next

day's 18:00/6pm. Breaks shorter than one hour in your sleep don't stop sleep tracking, but they are not taken into

account in the sleep time. Breaks longer than 1 hour stop sleep time tracking.

The periods when you sleep peacefully and don't move a lot are calculated as restful sleep. The periods when you

move and change your position are calculated as restless sleep. Instead of simply summing up all the immobile peri-

ods, the calculation gives more weight to long than short immobile periods. The percentage of restful sleep compares

the time you slept restfully with the total sleeping time. Restful sleep is highly individual and should be interpreted

together with sleep time.

Knowing the amount of restful and restless sleep gives you insight into how you sleep at night and if it's affected by

any changes in your daily life. This may help you in finding ways to improve your sleep and feel well rested during the

day.

With the Polar Flow mobile app, you can follow and analyze your activity data on the go and have your data synced

from the Polar app to the Polar Flow web service. The web service gives you the most detailed insight into your activ-

ity information.

Activity benefit gives you feedback on the health benefits that being active has given you, and also on what kind of

unwanted effects sitting for too long has caused for your health. The feedback is based on international guidelines and

research on the health effects of physical activity and sitting behavior. The core idea is: the more active you are, the

more benefits you get!

Both Flow app and Flow web service show the activity benefit of your daily activity. You can view the activity benefit

on daily, weekly and monthly basis. In the Flow web service, you can also view the detailed information on health

benefits.
