Apple Watch Sleep Tracking and Score
Apple Watch offers a built-in sleep tracking feature that automatically monitors sleep when worn to bed. With watchOS 26, Apple introduced a sleep score feature to visualize sleep quality over time. This feature provides a daily assessment of sleep performance.
Customizing Sleep Score Notifications
Initially, Apple Watch could notify users of their sleep score daily. However, a recent update allows for granular control over these notifications. Users can now select specific sleep score ranges for which they wish to receive alerts, such as "OK," "Low," or "Very Low" scores, while opting out of notifications for "High" or "Very High" scores.
How to Adjust Notification Settings
These notification preferences can be adjusted through either the iPhone Watch app or directly on the Apple Watch. On iPhone, navigate to the Watch app, then to the Sleep section, and tap "Sleep Score Notifications." On Apple Watch, go to the Settings app, scroll to the Sleep section, and tap "Sleep Score Notifications" to toggle alerts for specific ranges.
Sleep Score Calculation
The Apple Watch calculates the sleep score based on three primary factors: sleep duration, which accounts for 50 points; bedtime consistency, contributing 30 points; and interruptions during sleep, making up the remaining 20 points. This comprehensive approach aims to provide a detailed overview of sleep quality.
