Understanding Your Band's Learning Process
Your Hume Band is designed to learn your unique physiological patterns. During your first week, it's building a comprehensive baseline of how your body responds across different conditions and activities. Think of this as teaching your band to recognize your normal.

Sleep: Your Band's Most Important Learning Opportunity
Wear your band all night, every night during the first week.
Sleep calibration is the most complex and valuable data your band collects. During sleep, your band learns your unique:
- Heart rate variability patterns
- Recovery signatures
- Breathing rhythms
- Movement patterns
- Temperature regulation
Unlike daytime activities, sleep provides uninterrupted hours of pure physiological data that forms the foundation for all other insights.
Pro tip: Whatever your band's charge level, put it on the charger before stepping into the shower. This simple routine ensures you never go to bed with a dead battery. Even a 10-minute charge during your shower provides hours of overnight monitoring.
Recommended Daily Activities for Optimal Calibration
Daily Movement Goal: 3,000+ steps This helps your band understand your typical activity patterns and heart rate responses during regular movement.
Temperature Exposure
- Spend some time in warm environments (sunlight, heated rooms)
- Experience cooler conditions (early morning walks, air conditioning)
- This teaches your band how your cardiovascular system adapts to temperature changes
Terrain Variety
- Include some uphill walking when possible
- Add gentle downhill sections to your routes
- These variations help calibrate your band's understanding of exertion levels

Important: Nothing is Mandatory
These are suggestions, not requirements. Your band will function regardless of which activities you complete during the first week. Life happens, and your calibration will adapt accordingly.

Continuous Learning
Calibration doesn't stop after seven days. Your Hume Band continuously refines its understanding of your physiology. If you miss uphill walking this week, it will learn that pattern when you encounter hills later. The same applies to temperature exposure and activity levels.
The difference is timing: more varied data in the first week means more accurate insights sooner. Missing certain conditions simply means your band will fill those gaps as you naturally encounter them in daily life.
Your band is learning you, at your pace, in your environment.
