Traveling with Smart Rings: Jet Lag, Time Zones, and Charging
Keep your sleep data clean while traveling and avoid losing nights to time zone confusion.
Before you travel
Prep your ring
- Charge to 100% the night before you leave.
- Update firmware so time zone changes sync smoothly.
- Turn off non-essential notifications.
During travel
Keep data consistent
Let the app auto-adjust the time zone, but verify it after landing. Long flights often look like naps in the data, which is fine for trend tracking.
Jet lag management
Use sleep and light timing
- Expose yourself to morning light at the destination.
- Keep caffeine earlier in the day.
- Go to bed at local time, even if you are not sleepy.
Charging on the go
Pack smart
- Bring the official charger and a small USB-C adapter.
- Charge during a shower or breakfast so you do not miss sleep data.
- Keep the ring on for flights to capture resting heart rate trends.
