Home: preferred breathing programme and audio
In the ‘Sleep Robot’ tab, you can set the preferred breathing mode and select an audio
programme for your Sleep Robot.
Breathing mode
What do you want to use the Sleep Robot for? You can select different modes: Sleep, Nap or
Relax. Change the mode by swiping between the programs, clicking the one you want to use
and click Select.
Differences between the programmes
The programmes differ in breathing movement, the ratio inhaling-exhaling.
●
Nap: the exhalation takes 1,5 times as long as the inhalation
●
Sleep: the exhalation is 2 times the duration of the inhalation
●
Relax: the exhalation is 2,5 times the duration of the inhalation
An enlarged exhalation helps to balance the nervous system and become more relaxed and
fall asleep. When choosing for the relax-mode, try to consciously follow the deep breathing
movement as a moment of meditation.
Tip:
you do not have to stick to the modes. Instead, try to experiment a bit to see which of the
programmes suits your breathing pattern best.
Duration
Next, you can choose the ‘breathing duration’: the duration the Sleep Robot will breathe. You
can set any time from 5 to 120 minutes. When the programme ends, the Sleep Robot will turn
off automatically.
Audio preferences
The Sleep Robot can also play soothing sounds. You can select different tracks after selecting
a breathing mode. By selecting multiple tracks, you will create a playlist. Select ‘save’ to save
your choice to the Sleep Robot.
To listen to a preview, just click on the title of a track. It will play a short sample.
Duration
You can set your preferred duration for audio as well; it can be shorter than the breathing
duration. At the end of the programme, the volume will slowly fade out.
Breathing settings
Adjust the breathing rate of the Sleep Robot within the breathing settings menu.
