Sleep Sensing
On Nest Hub 2
Contactless sleep and respiratory wellness sensing
Sleep Sensing on the Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) can help you get a better night’s rest and improve your overall wellness. It tracks your sleep, measures your breathing and detects what could be disturbing you at night, like coughing or snoring. As Sleep Sensing gets to know your sleep patterns, you receive personalized insights and tips to improve your sleep.
Sleep sensing
Sleep Sensing uses Motion Sense to track the sleep of the person closest to the display. Motion Sense uses a low-energy radar to detect movement and breathing. Other sensors in Nest Hub (2nd gen) detect sounds like snoring and coughing and environmental factors like light and temperature in the room.
Sleep Sensing can then determine not just when you went to bed and how long you slept but also the quality of your sleep. Once you’ve set up Sleep Sensing, all you have to do is sleep as usual in the spot you configured. There’s nothing to wear or remember to charge.
Sleep summary
Each morning on your display, you should receive a sleep summary of how well you slept the night before. This includes elements like Quality, Duration and Schedule, and displays an overall color for how well or poor your sleep was overall.
Respiratory wellness
Respiratory wellness shows things that can affect your sleep:
Respiration rate (RPM): Measures the average number of breaths you take per minute, and how variable your breathing was in that sleep period. Your RPM range is the top 95% and bottom 5% of the night’s data.
Sleep disturbance events: Shows disturbances during sleep such as coughing or snoring.
Personalized sleep insights
As Sleep Sensing gets to know your sleep habits and patterns, you’ll receive personalized insights and recommendations to help improve your sleep. You’ll begin to get these tips after a week of daily sleep tracking.
The sleep report contains a summary of insights, education, and tips related to your sleep. Insights are things that Nest Hub noticed about your recent sleep that could be improved. Your report also includes education from third-party sources, explaining reasons for the insights and tips on how to improve.
