Sleep Analysis

[nemecis202]

Hi all! I have apple watch 8 and i would like to ask you if it is mandatory to turn on Sleep Focus or set up a scedule in order to track sleep. Does it not juch check the fact that you go to sleep by heart rate etc?

If i go to sleep during the day does it not register sleep?

Quick answer is you have to set a schedule.

I did set a schedule and it worked . The schedule was set to end at 10 AM and I woke at that time but sleep tracking stoped at 730 in the morning even if I was still seeping.. how can that happen?

My schedule is set for 10:30pm to 5:30am, 7 hours. I first selected the goal - 7 hours and then a sleep time - 10:30pm. The wake up time was then auto selected for 5:30. The tracking however continues until I get up, yesterday it was 8am, this morning it was 7am. The data continued to those later times.

It’s possible that the watch thought you had awakened and stopped tracking. On one night the watch popped up a notification that said it looked like I had awakened and did I want to stop tracking. I had gotten up to go to the bathroom. I just dismissed the notification and it continued once I got back in bed.

Doesn’t it go into sleep tracking if you actively put the watch into sleep mode (the bed)?

Only if you have a schedule set. I tried it one night with Sleep app on the watch face, but no schedule set, there was no tracking and the watch face eventually returned to the clock face.
