FAQs

SleepScore Max is a sleep improvement system designed for use at home. The system consists of three components:

The SleepScore Max device featuring SleepScore by ResMed technology – A highly accurate non-contact sleep sensor
The SleepScore Max Mobile App – A companion app, downloadable via the Apple® App Store or Google Play™ by searching for SleepScore Max (Smartphone device not included)
The Sleep Guide – A sophisticated system located in the SleepScore Max Mobile App that gives you personalized advice on improving your sleep

The SleepScore Max device uses bio-motion sensor technology, similar to echolocation, to track your respiration and body movement as you travel through each sleep stage. It also monitors the environment around you. This data, combined with your profile and lifestyle information, gives us deep insight into your unique sleep patterns. It’s how we’re able to provide you with actionable, customized advice, delivered through the Sleep Guide.

In the app, you will also find a series of easy-to-use, interactive tools that allow you to work with your own sleep data, and to properly understand the way you sleep. You have access to your sleep history, so you can compare the quality of your rest to your daily lifestyle measures, such as caffeine and alcohol intake. In addition, you can receive sleep solution and product recommendations, all of which have been tested by our expert team at SleepScore Labs and selected to fit your individual needs.

No, the SleepScore Max is completely non-contact. There is no need for a wristband, mattress strip or electrodes – nothing to distract you from sleeping peacefully. As long as the device is positioned correctly and you are within its range, it will measure your sleep regardless of your sleeping position. The SleepScore Max sensors also capture sleep data through thick blankets or comforters.

No, SleepScore Max is not a medical device. It is designed to help improve your sleep through coaching and biofeedback. It cannot be used to diagnose or treat any sleep disorders. If you have concerns that sleep is affecting your health, you should consult a healthcare professional.

SleepScore Max is highly accurate. The SleepScore by ResMed technology has been validated in over 10 clinical studies comparing it against lab based Polysomnography (PSG), the gold standard of sleep measurement. To function properly, the unit must be positioned correctly and you should be within its range 1.3 feet to 3.9 feet while it monitors your sleep.

SleepScore Max was designed to be used by adults who are over 85 lbs. If you have Restless Leg Syndrome, or if you have children or pets sleep in your bed on the same side as the unit, you may receive erroneous results. There are also no known health risks from using SleepScore Max while pregnant.

Download the SleepScore Max app from the Apple® App store or Google Play™ by searching for SleepScore Max. Then, set up your account through the app. Please fill out the entire profile as that information enables us to provide you with the most customized experience. After you set up the device, follow the on-screen instructions to pair your compatible smartphone to the SleepScore Max unit.

Once paired, place the unit on a surface close to you with it facing your chest. The device must be between 1.3 to 3.9 feet of you, ideally about an arm’s length away. The bottom of the unit should be just above the top of your mattress. Avoid placing any items in front or around the device.

Using the SleepScore Max app, check the screen graph showing your breathing. This will indicate that your smartphone is connected to the unit. Before you go to sleep, answer the lifestyle questions in the Sleep Guide. When complete, press “Start Sleep Tracking” to begin your session.

Make sure Bluetooth® and WiFi are activated on your smartphone. Download the SleepScore Max app from the Apple® App Store or the Google Play™ store. Once complete, open the app and complete the registration and app tour.

Next, connect the SleepScore Max to a power outlet. With the app open, tap on “Connect your SleepScore Max.” You’ll see a list of available Bluetooth® devices. From this list, select “SleepScore Max” and pair within one minute of plugging in the SleepScore Max. A steady green LED light on the device indicates that you have paired successfully.

The device can only record one person’s sleep at a time; however, different people can use the same device if they are using it at separate times. Each user should create their own account, so that they can access their own personal sleep history and receive personalized advice.

Be sure to place the SleepScore Max unit next to the person who is tracking their sleep. SleepScore Max can distinguish between two people in a bed, but will record the person closest to the unit.

Currently, two units cannot be used in the same room at the same time as they will interfere with each other and produce misleading results. You can use multiple units in the same home though, as long as they are in different rooms.

Follow the instructions below to pair your device if using multiple units in your home.

When you are pairing your smartphone to your unit for the first time, please ensure that any other SleepScore Max devices in your home are switched off.
Power up only your specific SleepScore Max unit – this means that only your unit and its unique identifier code will be visible on the Bluetooth® pairing screen on the app.
Pair your unit to your smartphone within one minute of plugging in the unit

The SleepScore Max is not battery-operated. It needs to be plugged in to track your sleep. Because it uses very little power compared to most household appliances, we recommend leaving the unit plugged in. This facilitates a faster reconnection process via Bluetooth. We also recommend charging your smartphone while tracking your sleep to avoid your smartphone’s battery running out of power.

No, you can use any smartphone as long as you download the SleepScore Max app and log in to your account. After logging in using the email and password associated with your account, use the app to pair the smartphone to your SleepScore Max unit.

When in range, your SleepScore Max unit should automatically re-connect with the last device it was connected to. Therefore, if you change smart device, ensure Bluetooth® is turned off on the device you do not wish to use.

The front-left LED light can be green, yellow, red, or off. This light communicates the status and activity of the SleepScore Max unit as well as its connection to your smartphone.

A flashing red light means the SleepScore Max unit has not been paired to a smartphone.
A steady red light means Bluetooth® is not paired or the smartphone is out of range of the SleepScore Max unit.
A steady green light means SleepScore Max is paired and ready to begin sleep monitoring when you wish to do so.
A flashing green light means SleepScore Max is in sleep-monitoring mode. This light will fade out 15 seconds after beginning sleep-monitoring mode.
A steady yellow light indicates a firmware upgrade is taking place.

No, in order to most accurately track your sleep, tap ‘Start Sleep Tracking’ on the Sleep screen for sleep tracking to begin. Make sure your SleepScore Max is correctly set up and connected to your smartphone. SleepScore Max will keep going until you stop tracking your sleep, up to a limit of 14 hours.

To ensure that your reading is as accurate as possible, please avoid placing items between yourself and your SleepScore Max device. Keep the area clear as even common beside items, such as a glass of water, can affect the technology if they’re in the way.

No, please do not leave your phone touching your SleepScore Max device. It is best to place it behind or beside the unit while you are sleeping.

No, your SleepScore Max unit will not interfere with the devices in your room. It has no effect on your TV, radio, or phone.

Placing your smartphone in between you and your SleepScore Max unit while you are sleeping can interfere with the sensors. Before you start tracking your sleep, place your smartphone behind or beside the SleepScore Max unit.

Using objects with moving parts, such as an electric fan, in the vicinity of your SleepScore Max may impair its performance. To ensure minimal interference, keep objects with moving parts more than 3.9 feet away from the device. Electric fans are best placed to the side, behind, or above your unit.

Yes, electric blankets have not been found to alter data captured by SleepScore Max.

By keeping the unit in a dry environment and following the instructions in the User Manual, the unit should work when it is connected to a power source. For proper functioning, storage conditions should be within 41°F to 95°F, and 30% to 85% relative humidity.

The SleepScore Max unit only needs to be plugged in when you are tracking your sleep. However, the unit uses very little power compared to most household appliances. Leaving the unit plugged in facilitates a faster reconnection process via Bluetooth®.

The Sleep Guide is a sophisticated system that gives you ultra-personalized advice on improving your sleep. Located in the SleepScore Max app, it combines your sleep, daily activity and bedroom environmental data to curate customized, actionable advice. These recommendations may be small daily changes or larger lifestyle shifts. SleepScore Max may also suggest products and sleep solutions that will help you get your best night\’s rest.

Developed by behavioral psychologists and leading sleep physicians, the Sleep Guide was created after four years of analyzing more than two million nights of objective sleep data.

Your SleepScore is an assessment of the quality and quantity of your sleep, plotted on a scale of 0 to 100. After tracking your sleep using SleepScore Max, your SleepScore evaluates your rest against the following six parameters:

Total sleep Duration
Time to fall asleep
Light sleep
Deep sleep
REM (Rapid-Eye-Movement) sleep
Awakenings throughout the night
These variables are then measured against known sleep averages for your age and gender, which have been established by well-published research, expert advisors and the analysis of over two million nights of sleep. Continued use of SleepScore Max in conjunction with adherence to advice on sleep environment, health, lifestyle and should help your improve your score.

Based on your unique sleep profile and patterns, SleepScore Labs will recommend products and solutions that our tailored to your needs. These have all been validated by our team of sleep experts.

The Smart Alarm enables you to wake up during the ideal time of your sleep cycle: light sleep. This ensures that you’ll rise feeling refreshed and ready for the day, instead of waking up during deep sleep which would leave you feeling groggy.

To use your Smart Alarm, choose the 15- to 30-minute time window you’d like to wake up. Once you hit light sleep in this window, the Smart Alarm gently wake you. If you do not enter light sleep during this time window, the alarm will instead sound at the end. The Smart Alarm will work even if you did not enable push notifications. If your phone is on silent, you can control the volume of the alarm through your phone. If your phone is not connected to your SleepScore Max device, the Smart Alarm will not work.

We recommend you continue to receive these, as they are tailored to your individual sleep needs. However, if you choose to turn them off, go into the “Settings” menu on the app and select “Push Notifications“. Here you can customize your notification settings in the system menu. Even with notifications disabled, you can still view the recommendations or suggestions in your SleepScore Max Mentor screen on the app. We value your input and request that you provide as much feedback as possible when prompted.

In order to provide you with personalized advice to help improve your sleep, we need to understand what factors are affecting your sleep outside of those we can track with the SleepScore Max device. That\’s why we ask about your caffeine and alcohol intake, as well as your daily stress levels, sleepiness and exercise.

We request access to Apple Health, so that we can pre-populate your lifestyle data and integrate your sleep data with other approved apps. We ask to use your location, so that we can provide customized insights such as how you compare to other users in your area and sleep-impacting weather heading your way.
