Sleep is a fundamental pillar of health. In Islam, sleeping well is encouraged — Prophet Muhammad (saw) said: « Fajr prayer is more beneficial than morning sleep. » Good sleep strengthens our worship, concentration, and overall health. Sleep and home automation can work together to help you improve the quality of your rest through intelligent sensors and tailored automations.
Sleep Tracking with Withings Sleep
The Withings Sleep is a sleep sensor placed under the mattress. It measures your sleep quality without a wristband or wearable. You simply lie down and the sensor automatically records your sleep cycles, light and deep phases, as well as any snoring.
Data syncs to the Health Mate app and then to Home Assistant via the Withings integration. You can then track your sleep history and see trends over several weeks.
Key Features of Withings Sleep
- Automatic tracking of sleep phases (light, deep, REM)
- Snoring and breathing disorders detection
- Daily sleep score out of 100
- Home Assistant integration to trigger automations
- Silent alarms with vibration (no noise)

Withings Sleep + Home Assistant Integration
Once the sensor is connected to your Wi-Fi network, Home Assistant receives sleep data automatically. The available entities in Home Assistant include:
- sensor.sleep_depth — sleep depth
- sensor.sleep_duration — total sleep duration
- sensor.sleep_start_time — bedtime
- sensor.sleep_end_time — wake-up time
- sensor.sleep_snoring — snoring detection
- sensor.sleep_score — sleep quality score
Automations to Improve Sleep
Adaptive bedtime lighting: Configure your bedroom lights to gradually dim 30 minutes before bedtime. An intensity that drops from 100% to 20% over 30 minutes signals to your body that it is time to sleep.

Morning preparation: Automations can also help you in the morning. When your sleep score is excellent (above 85), trigger a positive ritual: gradually increasing lights, soft music, a notification with the hadith of the day.
Temperature and Sleep
The ideal bedroom temperature for sleeping is between 18 and 20 °C. With Home Assistant, you can automate thermostat adjustment 30 minutes before bedtime. A connected thermostat like the Nest or Tado integrates perfectly with Home Assistant for this type of automation.
Conclusion
Good sleep is an investment in your physical and spiritual health. Home automation does not replace good habits (consistent bedtime, no screens before bed, no coffee in the evening) but it can help create an optimal environment for rest. Sleep and home automation therefore go well together. The Withings Sleep is an excellent starting point to begin measuring and improving your sleep.
