To create a new Sleep In, click on the add button on the top right. Create a name. Set up your bedtime and wake up time. For example, you sleep at 11 pm and would like your windows to lighten by the time you wake up at 8 am, so you will set your wake up time to be at 8:00 am. After, choose which days you want this to happen and how often it reoccurs. Pick your desired room for the Sleep In to occur. Click save on the top right. Once saved, you will be redirected back to the Sleep In page where you can view your new Sleep in and all upcoming Sleep Ins.
