Sleep Regime & Google Fit Integration

Solaris extends its commitment to healthy computing beyond just the sun's position by incorporating your personal circadian rhythm. The Sleep Regime feature creates a dynamic, personalized schedule for your monitor's brightness and color temperature adjustments, directly informed by your actual sleep-wake patterns. This ensures your display not only harmonizes with the natural light cycle but also with your body's unique internal clock.

Integrating with Google Fit

To provide this highly personalized experience, Solaris securely integrates with Google Fit. By connecting your Google Fit account, Solaris gains access to the sleep data recorded by your fitness tracker or other connected apps. This allows Solaris to learn and adapt to your specific sleep habits.

Data Collected and Its Purpose

Solaris requests and uses the following specific sleep data from your Google Fit account:

Sleep Data: This includes details such as your sleep duration, the start and end times of your sleep sessions, and historical sleep patterns.

This data is accessed using the Google Fit API and is processed locally within your Solaris application. Its primary purpose is to:

Construct Your Personalized Sleep Schedule: Solaris analyzes your historical and recent sleep sessions to determine your typical bedtime, wake-up time, and the consistency of your sleep patterns.
Optimize Display Transitions for Sleep: Based on your personalized sleep schedule, Solaris intelligently fine-tunes the timing of its evening and morning adjustments. This means your monitor will begin transitioning to warmer, dimmer tones (reducing blue light exposure) at a time that aligns with your natural wind-down period, and gradually brighten as you typically wake up.

By mapping display transitions directly to your actual sleep-wake patterns, Solaris offers an experience that is precisely synchronized with your physiological circadian rhythm.

How to Enable Google Fit Integration

To activate your personalized Sleep Regime:

Open the Solaris application and navigate to the Settings or Integrations section.
Locate the "Google Fit" or "Sleep Integration" option.
Click the Connect to Google Fit button. This action will typically open a web browser, prompting you to log in to your Google account and grant Solaris the necessary permissions to access your sleep data.
Once permissions are successfully granted, Solaris will begin retrieving and analyzing your sleep information. It may take a short period for your personalized Sleep Regime to be established and reflected in the application's behavior.
