The Start Frustrating button activates the Sleep Frustrating modes you selected on your Wear OS watch. Before starting, you can enable or disable Screen Flash Mode, Haptic Mode and Sound Mode independently.
The control starts the modes selected on the watch. Google Play does not describe tiredness detection, sleep monitoring or medical treatment.
What happens before I press Start Frustrating?
Choose the modes you want to use:
- Screen Flash Mode produces rapid, colorful display flashes.
- Haptic Mode produces strong wrist vibrations.
- Sound Mode produces continuous alarm sounds.
The current listing says each mode can be enabled or disabled independently. That means the Start Frustrating button activates your chosen combination rather than requiring all three modes every time.
How do I know the selected modes are running?
The current official screenshots show a running-state screen that lists the active modes and changes the main control to STOP FRUSTRATING. This provides a direct way to end the active session from the watch.
Do I have to start sound, flash and vibration together?
No. The app's independent toggles let you select one mode or a combination before activation. For example, Sound Mode can stay off while Haptic Mode is on. The Google Play listing does not claim that one combination works better than another.
When should I stop the active modes?
Stop the session if any selected stimulus is uncomfortable, distracting or unsuitable for the setting. Rapid display flashes, strong wrist vibration and continuous alarm sound are intentionally noticeable.
Do not enable Screen Flash Mode if you are sensitive to flashing lights or have been advised to avoid them. Stop immediately if you feel unwell.
Sleep Frustrating should not replace sleep, and it should never be relied on to continue driving or doing safety-critical work while drowsy. Stop the activity and rest safely if sleepiness creates a risk.
