A:Your sleep report is given using the data gathered from your earbuds. Sometimes the earbuds can misinterpret certain activities as you being asleep or awake. For example, if you’re wearing them and sit still for a while or you just leave your earbuds out of the case for a prolonged period of time, it may interpret this as sleep. The soundcore app would then use this data in your sleep report, therefore distorting your sleep curve
A:How sleep detection works:
The earbuds judge whether the user has fallen asleep by their movements. If within half an hour, the user barely moves, the earbuds determine that they have fallen asleep and generates sleep data. If they often move around while sleeping, it may cause the earbuds to misjudge that they are still awake, so no sleep data will be recorded.
