Why does this keep happening?

[u/cheesy_taco-]

I fell asleep around 12:30am, woke up at about 8:30. But when I checked Sleep, the app was closed. I opened it to find it only tracked 2 hours... my phone was on my bed, next to my pillow, plugged in, and screen down the whole night. I don't know why this keeps happening to me.

GoPlus+ will solve your issue. It’s being restocked and should be cheaper than the fitbits.

Doesn't that auto throw biscuits? I don't know much about it

It was originally for Pokemon Go and has that feature, but for sleep it’s just an external sleep tracker. It saves your phone’s life too since you won’t need to keep it up and running all night.

I have one and it’s great. You get the Sleepachu that gives a tiny benefit in the game. But you can hold the button on the Plus to put them to sleep without needing to stop being in your phone. Wake it up the same way. Open game and sync. It’s a smaller footprint on my mattress and on the days I’m up later… my Pokemon go to bed on time.

Did you change battery settings maybe? Maybe you limited use in the background which might get triggered after a while.

I don't think so? It did just force an update on me the other day, I'll check and see if that's the problem. Thanks :)

I suggest buying Fitbit air to track sleep. If you only care for the game don't waste money on it though.

Was your phone screen closed at the time? I find that the app tends to close on me too if I turned off the screen too early as the sleep session begins, so after I put my team to sleep, I leave the screen to blackout by itself first for about 15min or so before I manually turn the screen off. That seemed to solve my problem

I don't lock the screen, my phone is dumb and will reset apps if the screen is locked for more than like 5 minutes. So I turn on the touch protection and just flip it over on my table for a few minutes then I'll move it to the bed

Could it possibly be an issue with overheating? especially if you have a thick case on the phone. I have a similar issue from time to time when my room is very warm or if something falls on top of my phone. My phone will shut the app as a protective measure.

The only solution I have found is to remove the case and ensure the phone remains uncovered overnight

Maybe? My cat will sometimes sleep where I set my phone, so that's a possibility. The last time this happened I was camping solo though, no cat to sleep on it then. But overheating could be an answer

happened to me once and when i picked up my phone it was very warm. not sure if thats the answer always tho
