One of Xiaomi’s most unknown functions is rest mode, a function of the MIUI Health app that is only accessible if we meet a certain requirement. It is one of the most powerful sleep modes on the market, since he is even able to make recordings of our snores and tell us what time of night they were made.
We will explain to you how to activate sleep tracking on Xiaomi, all that can be done with this option and how you can configure it to get the most out of it. You will need a mobile updated to MIUI 12 and a few minutes to configure it.
How to bring up sleep mode to you
To display this mode, you must have installed the Health application. If you haven’t installed it on your Xiaomi, you can still download it safely from APKmirror. In our case, it was also necessary have an active Xiaomi account, to synchronize said health data. Once you have installed the Xiaomi account and the Health app, you make sure that it will work properly.
By opening the “Sleep” section we can enable snoring tracking, voice recording included
All you have to do is open the Health application and go to the “Sleep” section. The first thing we’ll do is set sleep hours, establishing a time to sleep and another time to wake up. During the sleep period, the mobile will be in ‘Do not disturb’ mode, so that nothing disturbs our sleep.
In addition to activating this option, if you wish, you can enable the option to detect snoring, granting microphone permissions to the Health app. During your break, MIUI will record and store your snoring locally, offering later reproduction of recordings.
If we have everything active, we will have the most complete sleep reports:
- Sleep information for day, week and month
- Hours of sleep
- Hours of deep sleep, light sleep and times we woke up
- The time we snored
- Snoring recordings
It is quite curious how Xiaomi is able to analyze what a snoring is and to record when we do it. So that they don’t take up too much space, we can delete these recordings whenever we want.
