How to Add Automatic Sleep Tracking to Your Apple Watch

You can establish bedtime regimens for yourself with the Sleep app for Apple Watch, which will assist you in meeting your sleep goals.

As soon as you wake up, open the Sleep app to check how much sleep you received and how your sleeping patterns have evolved over the previous 14 days. You will receive a notification to charge your Apple Watch before bed if its battery is less than 30 percent charged.

A glance at the greeting first thing in the morning to determine how much charge is still available.

In the Options app on your iPhone, hit Focus >'' Sleep. Tap People or Apps under Authorized Notifications and pick who or what can inform you when Sleep Focus is on.

Which App Is Best

Excellent alternatives to the defaults include Auto Sleep and Pillow. None one is free (Pillow’s in-app payment is all but obligatory), but neither is pricey.

Both apps gave me similar statistics on overall sleep time, yet their reports for how much "good" Sleep I received or how much I spent in deep Sleep were often dramatically different. I get the idea that individuals have different definitions of these things.

More essential is that they're both relatively consistent, at least after you set them up correctly and you've allowed the learning algorithms a week or two to figure out your sleep patterns.
