watchOS 7’s sleep tracking on Apple Watch and iPhone
The HinduWearables have gone from being a novelty of expensive toys to technologies of the future. That said, Apple’s new watchOS 7 now features sleep tracking, to help users hone data on how well they sleep through the night for how long. Kevin Lynch, Vice President of Technology at Apple, says, “We found that too much sleep data can be overwhelming for people, and the relevance of the information isn’t super clear right now. Instead of overwhelming people with too much detail, we want to look forward to how we can support them.” He adds, “We wanted to be seen as a helpful addition, rather than another source of frustration and anxiety.” As a result of users gathering this data and understanding more from it, Lynch says, “While you might not transform your sleep habits in one week, over time, you may find that making small changes like using some of our Wind Down Shortcuts will aid in improving your sleep. This measurement points to longer-term trends and your overall health.” How it works For Wind Down, Apple Watch users can set up a pre-bedtime routine through the Health app which includes automatically playing a soothing soundscape or dreamy playlist, or pairing with an app to kick off a yoga or meditation routine, or even get some journalling or next-day planning done — ultimately readying your mind and body for a seamless transition into sleep.
