Do you track your sleep track with the Apple Watch?

Yes, and even the Vitals app is a huge help. My S6 gold SS still tracks automatically sometimes if I slept in a few more mins from the wake up alarm; it calculated my respiratory rate. I have my pulse oximetry still on in the background like my heart rate so that was still measured as well.

I will still use Sleep Schedule even with auto sleep tracking. However, the biggest use for auto sleep tracking is when I travel or take naps in the afternoon. I tend to doze off on the plane or sometimes in the afternoon and the naps are never registered. Now I can track those as well.

I use sleep tracking all the time. Glad to see they are adding detection of naps too as that’s the only reason I use a third party app as well as Apple Sleep app as it picks those up too but Apple sleep didn’t. Even though I have a sleep schedule I don’t use wind down and can’t stick to the schedule times (not sure anyone could) Once I go to bed I just tell Siri to start sleep mode, no need for do not disturb.

Yeah sleep mode basically is a sleep version of dnd

Im looking forward to this. I always have my phone on silence and just get small vibrations on my watch. And I never get notifications when I sleep, why would I? Its the middle of the night.. A most welcome change!

Interesting. I always wake up to about 10+ notifications that came in overnight with emails, comments and a few other apps.

I want a smart alarm now.

Pretty sure there is a 3rd party app that does it. Way I remember it working was you set a possibly wake up timeframe and if you move during it then the alarm goes off.

@@TheAppleBias oh yeah, there’s at least one. That doesn’t mean I don’t want a native one. lol

Hey, Is the automatic sleep tracking causing any additional battery drain on apple watch?

Not that I noticed but probably too early to tell. The fact that you didn’t get all the vitals data was enough for me not to want to use the auto tracking.

It was hilarious that 50$ watches could auto track your sleep but a 500$ watch couldn't.......

It’s always been able to with 3rd party software. Some which were free. Apple just finally decided to add it in there. But I think their sleep system is still the better way to do it.

Apple's approach to sleep has always been to encourage users to make habitual changes to sleep, not just to detect it on watch for metrics. By using sleep focus everyday, it builds a healthy habit by limiting screen time and distractions. If you sleep track without sleep focus, you are definitely gonna get distracted by notifications. Even with this auto sleep detection, I would still suggest you use fixed sleep schedule mode everyday.

@vamos419 I agree. I don’t know why people seem so against it. 🤷‍♂️
