Do you sleep with your Apple Watch?

[dmr727]

I only sleep with it on if I'm trying to track my sleep. Doesn't bother me though - I don't even notice it's there.

 

[MarkX]

Yes every night. Charge it up ever other evening before bed time and put it back on to track sleep

Same for me.

 

[circatee]

Same for me.

And to confirm, it tracks sleep automatically, or do I need to turn a setting on?

I've slept with an Apple Watch for many years. I don't recall it taking any time to get used to wearing it. Yes, it tracks sleep automatically.

 

[Adelphos33]

Sometimes, but it’s not the most essential thing for me

 

[krezimax1975]

I sleep in Apple Watch Ultra 2, I slept before and with smaller watches. I track sleep and indicators, the alarm clock and calls at night wake up only me, not the whole family

 

[Howard2k]

Always.

 

[lexvo]

Yes. I hadn't worn a watch for a long time. 6 weeks ago I bought my first Apple Watch and quickly got used to it wearing it while sleeping.

 

[NETim]

Yes I do. It is a game with me now to get high sleep scores and to try to correlate how I feel the next day with my sleep score.


I believe it tracks closely.

 

[Ta_whirimatea]

Yes, always on except for charging & doing the odd colonoscopy here & there! 🐄🥊👏🤿

 

[JoeSilver]

Before I bought it, I hadn't used a watch for... decades, really. And when I did, I used to remove it in bed. Now that I have an Apple Watch, yes, I always wear it, except when I have a shower. Because of the sleep tracking of course.

However, after the first weeks, I'm trying not to be concerned too much about the sleep score, otherwise it makes me anxious and ruins my sleep... I have also disabled some of the recurrent notifications ("stand up", "you're walking less than yesterday", "you must complete the circles!") because I don't like being bossed by my watch
I already have a cat who does it, and wakes me up when it's breakfast time.

I think people sleep poorly these days because they consume too much content, and all kinds of gadgets and devices like smartphones and smartwatches disturb their sleep. Personally, I don’t keep any electronics in my bedroom, and even my alarm clock is analog. I sleep like a baby every night. You should try it. Oh, and it also helps not to stare at a screen right before going to bed, especially not in bed. You don’t need an Apple Watch to sleep better.

 

[stanza.richi]

Yes: silent wake up is something comfortable (for me and for my wife, especially when I wake up at 5 am to go to run 😅).

 

[cigz]

To be honest I mostly use my Apple Watch just to wake me up and then to check notifications.
I love how it wakes me up with just vibrations, it's so gentle. I hate the alarm sound even more because of that 🤭

Hmm, some valid points. Thanks for sharing...

Sure. Or use some self-discipline. Whichever works.

 

[circatee]

I do wonder if monitoring/knowing my sleep number via the Apple Watch, would frustrate me.

As it is, I often do not view or have the Activity app within view on my phone. Seeing some rings not closed, causes some internal struggles. 😂

Probably an OCD thing...

 

[BugeyeSTI]

I trade off sleeping with my S6 and Ultra2 depending on which one is charged. I don't have any issues sleeping with a watch on, mechanical or Apple

I have a sleep schedule set up but don't believe you have to for it to track sleep automatically!

 

[Momof2.1107]

I would feel weird and out of place if I didn’t sleep with my Apple Watch to track my sleep. I also track my wrist temp for ovulation and tracking my cycle, tracking my Sp02 levels at night since I have sleep apnea, and now for the hypertension notifications. I don’t stress over the data I receive. I like data and trends, so I use it for that.

Yes, the advantage of the sleep focus is that you can set notifications for people and apps if that is what you care about

That sounds like quite a lot to handle. Good luck with everything...

Been wearing my watch as I sleep for a few years now. The silent alarm is really good, especially as I get up earlier than my wife. The sleep tracking is just a bonus, but with the sleep apnea detection I think that is another useful benefit from wearing the watch at night.

I charge my watch for about 30 mins when I am cooling down before sleep, and another 15 minutes or so in the morning while I am in the shower. Works fine and I never have trouble with battery. I’m in an S10.

 

[Jackbequickly]

My watch is on the charging puck at night.

I sleep great on my Termperpedic!

 

[tom2517]

No, I tried but I just can’t, so I use oura ring to track my sleep.
