When your baby wakes, tap Wake up to open the sleep details. Press and hold Wake up now to finish the sleep. Open History to see its saved time and duration. The sample sleep is 15 minutes.
Follow the steps
If your baby is already asleep, enter when they fell asleep.
Start the sleep timer
On Loaf's Home screen, tap Sleep. Choose Still asleep. Check Fell asleep and change it if needed, then tap Start sleep.
Return to Home
Home shows the running sleep and how long it has lasted. You can close Loaf and return later. A single tap on Wake up opens the sleep details.
Finish when your baby wakes
In the sleep sheet, hold Wake up now for about a second, or double-tap it. If your baby woke earlier, tap Woke earlier, choose the wake time, then hold or double-tap Finish sleep.
Tap Undo if you finished the sleep by mistake.
Check the saved sleep
Open History to see the start, finish and duration. Open the sleep entry to correct a time or add a note.
Questions about sleep tracking in Loaf
Can I log sleep after my baby has woken up?
Yes. Open Sleep and choose Already awake. Enter Fell asleep and Woke up, then tap Save completed sleep. You can also choose Enter duration instead.
Does closing Loaf stop the sleep timer?
No. Closing Loaf does not finish sleep. Return to the running timer when you are ready to log the wake-up.
What if I forgot to log the wake-up?
Open the running sleep, tap Woke earlier and enter when your baby woke. Hold or double-tap Finish sleep to save that time. If you already finished it, open the saved entry and edit it.
Can another caregiver see the sleep timer?
Yes, if they have joined your family in Loaf. Your phones need to connect and sync for changes to reach each other.
Does Loaf tell me when my baby should sleep?
No. This guide covers logging sleep that happens. Loaf's current sleep tracker does not predict naps or set sleep targets.
