Syncing sleep from Health Connect

Written by Anastasia

Syncing sleep data from Health Connect can be a great way to track your sleep patterns.

To sync sleep data from Health Connect to your Second Nature account, please follow the instructions below.

  • Enable syncing with Health Connect in the Second Nature app (see this article on how to connect to Health Connect)

  • Open the Health Connect app on your Android device

  • Tap App permissions

  • Select Second Nature from the list of apps

  • Under Allow access, make sure Sleep is toggled on

  • If prompted, allow Second Nature to read your sleep data

If you're using another app or wearable (such as Fitbit, Garmin, Samsung Health, or Google Fit) to record your sleep, you'll also need to ensure that app has permission to write sleep data to Health Connect.


Check your sleep data

To confirm that sleep data is being recorded in Health Connect:

  1. Open the Health Connect app

  2. Tap Browse data (or Data & access, depending on your Android version)

  3. Select Sleep

  4. Check that recent sleep sessions are visible


Troubleshooting

If your sleep data still isn't syncing:

  • Check that your sleep tracking device or app has synced recently

  • Open the app that records your sleep to ensure the latest data has been uploaded to Health Connect

  • Confirm that both your sleep tracking app and Second Nature have the correct Health Connect permissions

  • Close and reopen the Second Nature app after enabling permissions
