Write Sleep Data

Your app can read and write granular sleep data. This includes light sleep, deep sleep, REM, and awake sleep stages from the SleepStages enumerated type. To write sleep data you must create a session of type FitnessActivities.SLEEP. Sleep data must be encapsulated in a session if it is to appear in the user’s Journal in the Google Fit App.

Optionally, insert segments of type SleepStages within the session:

No-granularity example

To write a night of sleep with no stage granularity, follow the example below. Create a session with start and end time, and the activity SLEEP.

Android

val fitnessOptions = FitnessOptions.builder()
    .accessSleepSessions(FitnessOptions.ACCESS_WRITE)
    .build()

// Create the sleep session
val session= Session.Builder()
    .setName(sessionName)
    .setIdentifier(identifier)
    .setDescription(description)
    .setStartTime(startTime, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
    .setEndTime(endTime, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
    .setActivity(FitnessActivities.SLEEP)
    .build()

// Build the request to insert the session.
val request = SessionInsertRequest.Builder()
    .setSession(session)
    .build()

// Insert the session into Fit platform
Log.i(TAG, "Inserting the session with the SessionsClient")
Fitness.getSessionsClient(this, GoogleSignIn.getAccountForExtension(this, fitnessOptions))
    .insertSession(request)
    .addOnSuccessListener {
        Log.i(TAG,"Session insert was successful!")
    }
    .addOnFailureListener { e ->
        Log.w(TAG, "There was a problem inserting the session", e)
    }

Sleep stages granularity example

To write sleep with stages granularity, write both the top-level sleep session and segments for the different stages of sleep.

Write sleep segments

In this example we will write several segments to represent the several sleep stages over one night of sleep.

Android

val dataSource = DataSource.Builder()
    .setType(DataSource.TYPE_RAW)
    .setDataType(DataType.TYPE_SLEEP_SEGMENT)
    .setAppPackageName(context)
    // Optional but recommended for identifying the stream if you have multiple streams with the same dataType.
    .setStreamName(streamName)
    .build()

val dataPoints = listOf(
    DataPoint.builder(dataSource)
        .setTimeInterval(startTime1, endTime1, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
        .setField(Field.FIELD_SLEEP_SEGMENT_TYPE, SleepStages.SLEEP_LIGHT)
        .build(),
    DataPoint.builder(dataSource)
        .setTimeInterval(startTime2, endTime2, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
        .setField(Field.FIELD_SLEEP_SEGMENT_TYPE, SleepStages.SLEEP_DEEP)
        .build(),
    DataPoint.builder(dataSource)
        .setTimeInterval(startTime3, endTime3, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
        .setField(Field.FIELD_SLEEP_SEGMENT_TYPE, SleepStages.SLEEP_LIGHT)

        .build(),
    DataPoint.builder(dataSource)
        .setTimeInterval(startTime5, endTime5, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
        .setField(Field.FIELD_SLEEP_SEGMENT_TYPE, SleepStages.AWAKE)
        .build(),
    DataPoint.builder(dataSource)
        .setTimeInterval(startTime6, endTime6, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)
        .setField(Field.FIELD_SLEEP_SEGMENT_TYPE, SleepStages.SLEEP_LIGHT)
        .build()
)

val dataSet = DataSet.builder(dataSource)
    .addAll(dataPoints)
    .build()

REST

  1. First create the dataSource:

    HTTP method

    POST

    Request URL

    https://www.googleapis.com/fitness/v1/users/me/dataSources

    Request body

    {
  "dataStreamName": streamName,
  "type": "raw",
  "application": {
    "detailsUrl": "http://example.com",
    "name": "Foo Example App",
    "version": "1"
  },
  "dataType": {
    "name": "com.google.sleep.segment"
  }
}

  2. Then populate the dataSet:

    HTTP method

    PATCH

    Request URL

    https://www.googleapis.com/fitness/v1/users/userId/dataSources/dataSourceId/datasets/datasetId

    Request body

    {

            "value": [
                {
                    intVal: 4 // Light sleep
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "dataTypeName": "com.google.sleep.segment",
            "startTimeNanos": startTime2,
            "endTimeNanos": endTime2,
            "value": [
                {
                    intVal: 5 // Deep sleep
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "dataTypeName": "com.google.sleep.segment",
            "startTimeNanos": startTime3,
            "endTimeNanos": endTime3,
            "value": [
                {
                    intVal: 4 // Light sleep
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "dataTypeName": "com.google.sleep.segment",

            "endTimeNanos": endTime4,
            "value": [
                {
                    intVal: 6 // REM sleep
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "dataTypeName": "com.google.sleep.segment",
            "startTimeNanos": startTime5,
            "endTimeNanos": endTime5,
            "value": [
                {
                    intVal: 1 // Awake
                }
            ]

        {
            "dataTypeName": "com.google.sleep.segment",
            "startTimeNanos": startTime6,
            "endTimeNanos": endTime6,

                    intVal: 4 // Light sleep
                }
            ]
        }
     ]
 }

Write sleep session

Finally, group the segments above by inserting a sleep session. Set the start time for this session to the start time of the first segment, and the end time to the end time of the last segment.

Android

val fitnessOptions = FitnessOptions.builder()
    .accessSleepSessions(FitnessOptions.ACCESS_WRITE)
    .addDataType(DataType.TYPE_SLEEP_SEGMENT, FitnessOptions.ACCESS_WRITE)
    .build()

val session = Session.Builder()
    .setName(sessionName)
    .setIdentifier(identifier)
    .setDescription(description)
    .setStartTime(startTime1, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) // From first segment
    .setEndTime(endTime6, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS) // From last segment
    .setActivity(FitnessActivities.SLEEP)
    .build()

// Build the request to insert the session.
val request = SessionInsertRequest.Builder()
    .setSession(session)
    .addDataSet(dataset)
    .build()

// Insert the session into Fit platform
Log.i(TAG, "Inserting the session in the Sessions API")
Fitness.getSessionsClient(this, GoogleSignIn.getAccountForExtension(this, fitnessOptions))
    .insertSession(request)
    .addOnSuccessListener {
        Log.i(TAG,"Session insert was successful!")
    }
    .addOnFailureListener { e ->
        Log.i(TAG, "There was a problem inserting the session", e)
    }
