Your wake-up mood is more than just a morning sentiment—it’s a vital insight into the quality of your sleep. How you feel when you wake can help you gauge whether your rest was truly restorative and reveal opportunities to fine-tune your sleep habits for better overall well-being.
Capturing Your Morning Mood
When you end a manual sleep tracking session, Pillow immediately prompts you to select your wake-up mood from three options: Good, Ok, or Bad. For users of automatic sleep tracking, Pillow takes care of it for you by sending a rich mood-report notification as soon as a sleep session is detected. Whether you receive this notification on your iPhone or Apple Watch, you can easily set your mood directly from the notification interface—no need to open the app.
If you wish to update or review your mood later, simply navigate to the sleep session detail view on your iPhone or iPad. Right beneath the sleep stage diagram, you’ll find the mood selection option available for adjustment. And if tracking your mood isn’t your preference, you can disable the feature entirely from Pillow’s Settings.
Unlocking the Power of Trends
While recording your wake-up mood for each session provides immediate feedback, the true value emerges when you observe your mood trends over time. Pillow’s dedicated trend section allows you to review your wake-up mood on a weekly, monthly, and annual basis. This long-term view helps you identify patterns, correlate your mood with sleep quality, and understand the impact of your daily routines. Moreover, the wake-up mood data plays a key role in Pillow’s “Discover your Chronotype” challenge, guiding you toward insights on your ideal sleep patterns.
