First Night Setup
How to prepare DreamLink, your room, and your expectations for the first night.
Set expectations correctly
DreamLink uses the first one to three nights to establish baseline patterns for posture, sleep onset, movement, and wake timing. The first report is useful, but the second and third nights are usually more stable.
Do not chase a perfect sleep score on night one. The goal is clean baseline data, not aggressive intervention.
Prepare the room
- Keep room lighting consistent with your normal bedtime routine
- Avoid moving the pillow after calibration finishes
- Use your usual blanket and mattress setup
- If you share a bed, position DreamLink exactly where you will sleep
Morning review
Open the app after waking and review the sleep timeline, wake events, and any setup warnings. If the app says signal quality was weak, focus on pillow position and head placement before changing more advanced settings.
