Know When Sleep Guidance Is Ready

Expect a refresh after the record changes

A new or edited Sleep or Wake event can change the picture. Pending means the refresh is waiting to start; Recalculating means EchoMom is reviewing the information. Neither label means you did something wrong, and there is no need to keep reopening the screen while it works.

1. Finish or correct the event in Quick log or Calendar.
2. Check the Sleep card on Home or open Home > Sleep.
3. If it says Pending or Recalculating, carry on with care and return later.

Read the finished and failed states literally

Ready means Sleep time has guidance you can open under Full recommendation. Issue means that attempt did not complete, so do not treat an older estimate as newly confirmed. On the Home Sleep card, the same states may use longer phrases such as Sleep coach update pending, Recalculating sleep estimate, or Sleep coach update failed.

1. When Ready appears, open Sleep and choose Full recommendation for the context behind the estimate.
2. When Issue appears, confirm the app can connect and check that recent sleep records are present.
3. Use Calendar to fix a missing or wrong event rather than inventing data just to clear the status.

Use Sleep warnings for gaps and missed checks

Sleep warnings cover gaps in the sleep log and missed sleep-window checks based on the child's current sleep schedule. They do not announce that Full recommendation is Ready. Keep them on only when those reminders help someone fix the record or act; turn them off on a phone whose owner is taking a protected sleep shift.

1. Open Settings > Notifications.
2. Find Sleep warnings and choose whether this phone should receive them.
3. Coordinate notification responsibility so the caregiver who is resting can actually rest.

Check the record before changing the routine

Missing overnight sleep, an unfinished timer, or a wrong wake time can make a day look very different. Review Calendar and the Partial day label first. Then use Full recommendation as planning context across a broader pattern, not as an order based on one difficult night.

1. Check overnight Sleep and Wake events in Calendar.
2. Correct missing or inaccurate times you actually know.
3. Use the updated guidance to plan rest or the next caregiver shift, not to chase a perfect score.

What to remember

• Pending means a refresh is queued; Recalculating means EchoMom is working on it.
• Ready means Full recommendation is available; Issue means the latest refresh did not finish.
• Sleep warnings are optional alerts for log gaps and missed sleep-window checks, not coach-ready alerts.
