When this feature is switched on (the toggle is moved to the right), the Sleep Robot will adjust
its breathing rhythm automatically to the user’s breathing rhythm. A step-by-step approach for
the best experience.
Step 1 - Manual adjustment
You can help the Sleep Robot by setting the breathing rate manually: the Sleep Robot will use
these settings as a baseline. For more instructions about setting the breathing rate manually,
read the next chapter.
Step 2 - Holding your Sleep Robot
It is important to hold the Sleep Robot against your chest or belly so that it can measure your
breathing rhythm using the motion sensor and adapt itself to it.
Step 3 - Synchronized breathing
The Sleep Robot will start breathing at the manually set starting rate and measure your
breathing rate for about a minute. Accordingly, it will gradually increase or decrease to the
measured rate. Slowly, the Sleep Robot will slow down the breathing rate while constantly
measuring whether you are following the movement.
Whenever you are in sync, it will slow
down again.
The Sleep Robot will turn off automatically after the set duration.
Manually adjust the breathing rate
The breathing range of the Sleep Robot can be set manually by using the sliders:
-
The top slider defines the breathing rate on which your Sleep Robot will start
breathing.
-
The bottom slider defines the breathing rate to which the Sleep Robot will slow down.
This rate can only be equal or lower than the start rate.
A normal breathing rate in rest is six breaths per minute. Bear in mind that everyone has a
different breathing rate, which is dependent on both physical and mental wellbeing and can
differ per day. Take your time to find out what works best for you.
Preview
The preview below the sliders shows an indication of the speed. Breathe along with it to find
out whether the pace of breathing feels comfortable. When changing the start or end rate, it
will preview the set value respectively.
