“Does UP3 sleep tracking feature work for people having sleep disorder? If people have sleep disorder such as Narcolepsy and Sleep Apnea, they may frequently fell asleep for as long as 30 minutes or as short as few seconds in their daily life, can UP3 detects such short naps or allow the user to mark it after wake up? For Narcoleptics, they only use few minutes to enter the REM instead of over a hour for normal persons, so will UP3 can also detects the REM and sleeping stages of Narcoleptics even their sleeping patterns during the night time are much different with normal persons? Many thanks!!!”

Yes it does. It uses your sleep data to let you know how often your rise from sleep and then advise you on foods, exercise, and other to help you sleep well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The jawbone is constantly sensing for sleep and though the app you can tell it "I fell asleep from 3:00 pm to 3:15pm" but the problem I see is that it can "only" log 1 sleep per day. So while it will detect the various sleep cycles when people go to bed, it'll be impractical to extend the log to say.... "those few minutes I dozed off at 3pm". Hope that helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In my (limited) experience with the band thus far, it appears to record info on intervals that span at least 3-4 minutes. It did not register my abrupt awakening where I went back to sleep immediately (likely because I had no real change in HR/Temp). IMO, you are better off consulting your doctor about alternative sleep monitoring devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does detect naps and allows you to either keep it marked as sleep or delete it if you where just reading or watching TV. It seems to be very sensitive to detecting sleep patterns of REM sleep but I we understand depend on exactly what your expectations are for monitoring.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The UP3 hasn't been released yet as of the time I'm writing this. If it works on the same principle of the UP24 it won't. You have to put it in sleep mode for it to monitor, and then it's only basing it on movement. The UP3 will have a heart rate monitor, so it's possible it will have a more sophisticated monitoring method, but don't recall seeing it in any of the sales literature. But I doubt even if it does, that it would be good enough to try and track a medical condition with.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It won't automatically detect. I know some trackers have that feature but they will also detect that you're sleeping when you're sitting still. You do have to turn it on and off via taps or by the app. If you missed the opportunity of turning it on or off, you can manually input the duration. In my opinion, the advanced tracker does a good job in overall tracking with minimal distraction since it's on your wrist, rather than your chest. I am not sure how it would work with Narcoleptics based on what you state...the first few minutes is the questionable part but from that point forward, it should pick up the light/deep/REM patterns.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
