Understand Sleep Coach Messages

Know what EchoMom means when sleep guidance is updating, ready, missing information, or needs another look.

Quick reference

  • Triggers: sleep, nap, and wake event changes
  • Messages: Updating, Ready, Issue
  • Best action: review logs before changing the routine

1 Step 1

Know what starts an update

EchoMom watches recent sleep, nap, and wake events. Adding or changing those logs can start a new sleep estimate.

  1. 1 Log or update a sleep, nap, or wake event.
  2. 2 Watch the dashboard sleep card for an updating message.
  3. 3 Give EchoMom a moment to refresh the sleep estimate.

2 Step 2

Read the messages

The dashboard and Sleep time screen show what is happening with the latest sleep guidance. Updating means EchoMom is reviewing recent sleep history. Ready means guidance is available. Issue means the latest update did not finish.

  1. 1 Open the Sleep card on the dashboard.
  2. 2 Read the badge beside the sleep coach message.
  3. 3 Tap Open sleep coach or Sleep details when the recommendation is ready.

3 Step 3

Use notices as reminders to check the logs

EchoMom can point out missing logs, partial days, and unusual patterns. Use those notices as a reason to review the timeline before changing the routine.

  1. 1 Check whether overnight sleep, naps, and wake events are complete.
  2. 2 Add missing logs before relying on the trend.
  3. 3 Use the full recommendation for context, then make routine decisions from the broader pattern.

Sleep-coach guidance is planning support. For safety concerns, illness, breathing issues, or persistent sleep problems, use clinical guidance.

Takeaways

What to remember

  • Sleep, nap, and wake changes can make EchoMom refresh its sleep guidance.
  • Updating messages are temporary while EchoMom reviews recent sleep history.
  • Sleep guidance is planning support, not a replacement for medical advice.
