Does Huckleberry app account for Daylight Savings?

Published in Sleep Tracking Adjustments 1 min read

Yes, the Huckleberry app does account for Daylight Savings Time (DST). It is designed to adjust its calculations if your geographical location observes DST.

How Huckleberry App Handles Daylight Savings

The Huckleberry app incorporates adjustments for Daylight Savings Time to ensure accuracy in your child's sleep tracking and reports. This functionality is automatically applied based on whether your locale observes the time change.

Here's how the app manages DST:

  • Automatic Calculation Adjustment: If your region observes Daylight Savings Time, the Huckleberry app will automatically adjust its calculation of total sleep hours. This accounts for the hour that is either lost (spring forward) or gained (fall back) during the time change, providing a more accurate representation of sleep duration.
  • DST Icon in Reports: To clearly indicate when a time change has occurred during sleep tracking, the app displays a specific DST icon within your reports. This icon serves as a visual cue, confirming that the sleep data displayed covers a period affected by Daylight Savings.

This integrated approach helps parents and caregivers maintain accurate sleep records and insights, even when time changes occur.
