Using the Sleep Page
The Sleep Page in the WellPD app tracks your sleep patterns. It shows information such as your total sleep time, bed and wake times, turns and tosses, and sleep interruptions.
These insights can help you understand your sleep habits and support better sleep quality over time.
For individuals with Parkinson’s, sleep quality can affect overall health and motor symptoms, so tracking it with the Sleep Page can be helpful.
WellPD does not diagnose or make treatment recommendations based solely on sleep tracking. Instead, it provides insights to support you and your doctor in determining the best approach to your care.
How to access your Sleep Page

Daily view
|
This is the daily view of your Sleep Page. In the next section, we'll walk you through each metric to help you interpret your sleep patterns. |
Sleep time, turns & tosses, and interruptions
This visualization focuses on nighttime sleep, tracking rest periods from 6 p.m. to noon the following day. Shorter rests under two hours and daytime naps are not shown unless they overlap with this timeframe. |
Effective vs. total sleep time
| Effective sleep is the time spent in uninterrupted sleep, without significant turns, tosses, or interruptions. Higher effective sleep time reflects more restorative rest. |
Sleep time comparison
|
Here, you can see the time you went to bed and woke up for the selected day, compared to your average over the past 7 days. Regular sleep patterns support your body's natural rhythms. Consistent sleep and wake times can improve both sleep quality and symptom management. |
Sleep fragmentation and efficiency

Weekly, monthly, and yearly trends
Tracking your sleep patterns over time can help you understand how rest affects your daily life. By monitoring these trends, you can identify how much sleep you need and make more informed choices about your sleep habits.
To view your sleep trends, select a time period—week, month, or year—within your Sleep Page.
In the next section, we'll explain each metric of the trends in your Sleep Page.
