Inaccurate sleep analytics are usually caused by the alignment of your camera and crib. To get the most out of Nanit Insights, it is extremely important that your crib and Nanit be set up properly, otherwise you can experience inaccuracies in your baby's sleep tracking.

**The optimal setup**

To deliver the best sleep insights, Nanit needs to be set up according to the guidelines below:

*   The Nanit camera should be centered on the long side of the crib
    
*   The entire crib should be visible in the Nanit app live view
    
*   An additional "parent pick up zone" (10-12" outside of the crib) should be visible in the Nanit app live view
    

If you see too much of the wall, or not enough of the parent pick up zone, please adjust the neck of your floor stand or wall mount to make sure you get the perfect view.

**Make sure your baby's date of birth is updated**

Our personalized sleep tips are based on a combination of your baby's sleep data and his/her age group. In order to get the most helpful sleep tips, we recommend that you take a moment to make sure your baby's date of birth is up to date.

Here's how to make sure your baby's date of birth is up to date:

1.  Open the Nanit app and tap side menu
2.  If you have more than one Nanit camera - Tap the name of your camera
3.  Choose your baby's settings
4.  Tap on ‘\[baby name\]’s details'
5.  Tap the date of birth field to edit
6.  Tap 'Save'

**If your baby's wake-up time looks wrong**

Your baby's wake-up time is detected automatically each morning by Wake for the Day. If it doesn't look right:

*   While the "Wake up time" card is showing on your Activity or Insights tab, tap Edit wake up time to correct it — this also updates your Sleep Score, Insights, and NextNap.
*   After the card is gone, you can still adjust it from the "Woke for the day" event in your Activity feed using the three-dot menu, though Sleep Score and NextNap may not recalculate for days that have already passed.

See [Wake for the Day](https://support.nanit.com/en_us/preview/article/wake-for-the-day-B1d9ntBjfe) for more on how this works, including the 90-minute window to confirm or edit and why the suggested time can sometimes update on its own.

**Something else not right? You can edit your sleep data**

After your first night with Insights, you'll receive your first night dashboard with data about your baby's night: how long your baby slept, how long it took him/her to fall asleep, how many times you visited him/her during the night and what is his/her sleep efficiency score. If you notice some of this data is inaccurate, you can manually edit it. Accurate sleep data means you'll get better sleep tips.

Here's how to edit sleep data:

1.  Open your Nanit app and go to ‘Insights’
2.  Select the date you would like to edit from the top of the page
3.  Tap the 'three dots' (…) icon on the top right corner of the page
4.  Change what you need and tap ‘save’

My Sleep Score is missing, but I can see sleep data for that night

This is usually caused by a brief connection gap (like the camera turning off and back on) during the night, rather than an issue with your crib setup or wake-up time detection. It's a separate, known issue — if it keeps happening, reach out to our team so we can take a closer look.

**Common Issues to Avoid**

Below are a few common scenarios that can sometimes result in inaccurate sleep data. If your crib setup matches either of these, we strongly encourage you to adjust it according to the guide above for the best possible experience with Nanit Insights.

*   No parent pick up zone - image ends where the crib ends
*   Nanit has moved a bit and is not capturing the entire crib
