There’s nothing worse than waking up in the morning feeling groggy and sleepy because you didn’t get a good night’s sleep. We need sleep to feel energized and ready to take on the hustle and bustle of everyday life. That’s where your Apple Watch can help.
How can my Apple Watch help me fall asleep?
Apple Watch devices have a unique feature called the Sleep app. This app allows you to create a sleep schedule so you can meet your bedtime goals each night. As long as you sleep with the watch on your wrist, the Sleep app tracks your sleep patterns throughout the night and tells you how long you spent in each sleep stage (REM, core, and deep sleep) time.
This feature is available on all watches updated to OS7, including Apple Watch Series 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
