What if I can’t stay awake until the scheduled bedtime during Stage II?
SleepKey determines the best time for you to go to bed based on your previous week’s mean sleep time and your current wake-up time. It might be difficult to stay up until the scheduled bedtime, especially if you did not get much sleep the prior night, but do your best to stay awake until the scheduled bedtime. Do an interesting and relaxing activity until time for bed. Read a book or magazine, watch some TV, surf the web, or have a light snack. If you feel you must go to bed before the scheduled bedtime, then press and hold the In/Out-of-Bed Key and shift SleepKey to “in-bed” mode. After the tone and reminder to stay up, SleepKey will eventually shift to “in-bed” mode and generate the sleep prompts to assess if you are awake or asleep.
