Understand Sleep Estimates
Understand what EchoMom means by estimated sleep, logged sleep, likely upcoming sleep windows, and partial days.
Quick reference
- Estimated badge: EchoMom is making a best guess
- Logged windows: sleep or nap events you recorded
- Likely windows: EchoMom's planning estimate
1 Step 1
Check the current phase card
The Sleep time screen starts with what EchoMom thinks is happening now. It can show Asleep, Awake, or Learning, and may include an Estimated badge when EchoMom is making a best guess.
- 1 Open Sleep time for the selected child.
- 2 Read the current phase and the next-event headline.
- 3 Look for the Estimated badge before treating the total as fully logged.
2 Step 2
Compare logged and likely sleep windows
Today's sleep windows can include sleep that already happened and sleep EchoMom thinks may happen next. Logged windows come from sleep and nap logs. Likely windows come from EchoMom's estimate.
- 1 Open the Timeline section.
- 2 Use the legend to tell logged sleep from likely upcoming sleep.
- 3 Review each row for the label, time range, and whether it was sleep or awake time.
3 Step 3
Read partial-day warnings
If daytime naps are logged but night sleep is missing, EchoMom treats the record as partial. That prevents the coach from turning an incomplete day into a misleading low-sleep pattern.
- 1 Check the Day and night split card.
- 2 Watch for a Partial day badge.
- 3 Add missing overnight sleep before comparing daily totals.
Takeaways
What to remember
- Estimated today means EchoMom is making its best guess from the sleep information it has.
- Logged sleep and likely upcoming sleep are shown separately.
- Partial days are handled carefully so missing night sleep does not make the day look misleading.
