Recovery context matters when your schedule is not built like office life

Night shifts, fast turnarounds, and long work stretches create a kind of fatigue that a normal calendar does not explain well. Sleep Insights and Fatigue Guard bring that missing context into the rota, so recovery is viewed beside the shifts that shape it.

What the recovery view can surface

  • Sleep trends over time instead of one isolated bad night
  • Upcoming shift load that may raise fatigue risk
  • Recovery pressure around consecutive work or night-heavy blocks
  • Specific days that deserve a closer look before they arrive

Why Sleep Insights and Fatigue Guard work together

Sleep Insights helps you see the pattern. Fatigue Guard turns that pattern into schedule-aware signals, using on-device analysis built from sleep trends, deficit signals, upcoming load, and recovery context. The result is not a generic "sleep score" that assumes everybody lives the same routine.

Use elevated-risk signals as planning support, not diagnosis

The most useful mindset is practical. If a day looks riskier, you can review the coming block, check recovery pressure, and look at swap options earlier. Fatigue Guard is there to support better planning and awareness, not to replace medical advice or tell you how you should feel.
