Eight sleep customisation setup

I wanted to ask what was the best customisation setup if I’m using eight sleep as a sleep tracker source. As it won’t write resting heart rate or HRV what settings should I use for these. I’m happy to do a mindfulness session in the morning but might miss this. Also unless I set hrv to all day the recovery score doesn’t come. Any advice would be great. This is without wearing the Apple Watch to sleep. Thanks.

Hi Leandro Giovando, since EightSleep does not write HRV or RHR data to Apple Health, you can try some of these options:
- Knowing HRV and RHR from the EightSleep app, you can manually enter these in Apple Health each day, and ensure your Settings in Bevel are set to Apple Health + Entire Sleep.
- Doing a mindfulness session will get you HRV but not RHR. Apple Health calculates a RHR randomly throughout the day, so you will need to keep the watch on and set the calculation to Apple Health + Entire Day. For HRV you can set to Mindfulness only.
Lastly, you can request EightSleep export their data to Apple Health so Bevel can read it :)

Amanda thanks for your reply. Just to be clear if I want to do the mindfulness session I set apple health and entire day for both RHR and HRV. Then if I opt to manually enter these values I choose Apple health and entire sleep again for both. The only issue with the entire day option is it changes the recovery throughout the day.

Leandro Giovando: This is correct! For manually entering, make sure the entry time is within your sleep time for Entire Sleep to work.
For mindfulness, HRV can be set to Mindfulness only, and RHR will be Entire Day. Because Apply writes RHR usually only time per day, your Recovery score should not change with these settings.
Try this out and let me know how it's working for you! :)

Amanda thanks. One more question. Should set the method to Bevel or Apple health for both?
Amanda
Leandro Giovando: Apple Health for both.
