Before You Start

Here’s what you can (and can’t) change:

You can:

• Delete sessions (like naps or incorrect data), for up to 7 days.
• Restore recently deleted sessions, for up to 7 days.
• Remove time from a sleep session.

You can’t currently:

• Manually change time to fall asleep.
• Add time outside of what the bed recorded.
• Merge two sessions into one.
• Edit sleep sessions less than 4 hours.
• Recalculate your circadian rhythm or timing.

These limits help keep your sleep data accurate.

Edit a Sleep Session

Use this when your bedtime or wake time looks wrong.

Steps:

1. Select Sleep. 
2. Scroll through the dates or use the calendar to select the session you want to remove.
3. Tap View Details under Sleep Session.
4. Scroll down to Adjust Your Session. 
5. Select Edit Your Sleep Session​​.
6. Drag the sliders to adjust your sleep start and end times.
7. Select Save. 
8. Edit your sleep session again to go back to the original start and end times. 

Tip: Editing works best for small adjustments. If times are far off, deleting the session may be more accurate.

• Naps that affect averages.

Troubleshooting & Common Issues

“I can’t edit my sleep session”

Try this:

• Make sure your app is up to date.
• Close and reopen the app.
• Log out and back in.

If it still won’t save, contact support.

“The sliders won’t move or save”

• Try using a different device (if available).
• Check for screen zoom or display settings.

“My sleep times are incorrect”

This can happen if:

• You were resting, reading, or watching TV.
• Pets or another person were on the bed.
• You got up during the night.
• Your timezone is set incorrectly.

Best fix:

• Adjust the session if possible.
• Or delete the session if it’s significantly off.

“My nap is affecting my sleep score”

• Delete the nap session.
• This removes it from your averages.

“The bed didn’t record my sleep”

Check:

• Your bed is connected to Wi‑Fi.
• Your Sleep Number® app is logged in.
• You are assigned to the correct side of the bed.

If it continues:

• Restart your bed (power cycle).
• Contact support.

“It says I’m still in bed when I’m not”

Try:

• Restart the bed.
• Confirm no pets or objects are triggering sensors.

How Edits Affect Your Sleep Score

• Your Sleep score updates after you edit or delete a session.
• Removing naps or incorrect sessions can improve accuracy.
• Some factors (like “time to fall asleep”) cannot be edited.
• Editing your sleep session will not recalculate your circadian rhythm or timing.
