Sleep tracking — Help Center

Alongside activity, the ZoomiTag Health tracks how your pet rests and sleeps. Sleep is a useful early signal of wellbeing, and Zoomi makes it easy to see your pet's patterns over time. It needs a ZoomiTag Health tag with an active subscription.

How sleep tracking works

The tag reports whether your pet is moving. When they stay still for long enough, Zoomi counts that as rest, and the app sorts it into:

Deep sleep — long, settled overnight rest
Naps — shorter sleep periods during the day
Light rest — brief calm spells

The Health screen shows these as a donut with your total rest hours in the middle, plus your pet's overnight sleep, nap count and a rest score.

Sleep is estimated from movement, not from a heart-rate or brainwave sensor. A pet lying still but awake can read as resting, and one carried around while dozing may read as active. It's a guide to the pattern, not a clinical sleep study.

What the rest score means

The rest score reflects how close your pet's daily rest is to the amount most dogs need (around 16 hours, including naps). Higher is better — the app flags scores as roughly optimal, sufficient or poor so you can see at a glance whether a day was unusual.

Why patterns matter

A shift in how much or how well your pet sleeps can be an early indicator of a health issue worth discussing with your vet. Because ZoomiTag builds up a baseline of what's normal for your pet, that kind of change is easier to spot.

Don't read any single night in isolation. The trend over days and weeks is what tells the real story — that's what to share with your vet if something looks off.

Give it time to build up

The first raw data arrives within a few minutes of activation, but rest scores only appear once the tag has recorded at least one full day of data — so allow around 24 hours before sleep insights show, and longer for the trend to settle. See Activity and steps for the rest of what's tracked.
