Summary
How much REM sleep didyouget last night?
Apple first introduced sleep tracking in watchOS 7, released in 2020.
I only decided to give sleep tracking a shot because I needed some data.

The plan was to then go back to sleeping sans Apple Watch.
Its now been over a week, and Im hooked on tracking my sleep.
Surprisingly, wearing an Apple Watch to bed isnt as uncomfortable as I thought it would be.

Part of adjusting to tracking my sleep meant finding time to charge my Watch.
I also no longer have to worry about remembering to charge my Watch at night.
Despite this, the data is interesting (especially if youre a bit of a data nerd).
it’s possible for you to have a go at use this data to improve your sleep.
Youll also be able to see how your sleep patterns are trending in the iPhone Health app.
Who doesnt love trends?
Otherwise, youll need to disable it manually.
Im not going to fret if I miss a few nights here or there.
I already had tosolve an issue where the Apple Watch refused to track my sleeprandomly anyway.
Im more concerned abouthitting my move goal, daily step counts, and stand hours.
If youve already got a Watch and youre curious, sleep tracking could be worth a shot.
