Various arrangements for performing an initial setup process of a sleep tracking device are presented. User input may be received that requests a sleep tracking setup process be performed. In response to the user input, a detection process may be performed based on data received from the radar sensor to determine whether a user is present and static. In response to the detection process determining that the user is present and static, a consistency analysis may be performed over a time period to assess a duration of time that the user is present and static. Based on the consistency analysis, sleep tracking may be activated such that when the user is detected in bed via the radar sensor, the user's sleep is tracked.
