How do you adjust wellness device guidance for night shifts?

Mine adapts fine once I set my wake window manually.

Shifting the prompts to match your actual routine makes more sense than ignoring them, in my experience. I tried the whole mental relabeling thing for a couple weeks and kept forgetting which check-in was which. Setting a custom sleep window took five minutes and now the reminders actually land when I’m awake enough to care. Slightly embarrassing how long I put that off.

I ended up splitting it in two. The tracking stays on my real schedule, but the coaching cues I mostly stopped fighting. Chasing every prompt to match a night shift got old fast, and half of them weren’t worth the effort anyway.

Remapping everything sounds like a losing battle to me. I leave the guidance on default and just go by how I actually feel after a shift, since the device doesn’t know my schedule anyway. The sleep tracking is the only part I really look at.

I get why people are saying to ignore the coaching prompts, but I actually found one part of the guidance kind of useful when I flipped my schedule around. Setting a wind-down reminder to fire a couple hours before my real bedtime helped me stop doom-scrolling in the morning, which was half my problem. The device still treats ‘morning’ like everyone else’s morning, so the exact wording is nonsense, but the nudge itself landed fine. Do you get anything at all out of the timing prompts, or are they all pretty useless for you?

That split makes sense, one nudge that works is better than none. I’d probably just leave the timing prompts alone then and not bother remapping them, since swiping the useless ones is less hassle than fighting the settings. The wind-down one doing its job is the main thing.
