Apple Watch sleep score became more useful for me with these settings
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple Watch features built-in sleep tracking that operates automatically without needing additional apps or modes, enhanced by watchOS 26's sleep score feature for visualizing sleep quality nightly.
- Sleep score notifications can be customized to alert users only for specific score ranges, such as OK, Low, or Very Low, helping users focus on nights with less optimal sleep.
- The sleep score is calculated from sleep duration (50 points), bedtime consistency (30 points), and interruptions (20 points), providing a comprehensive measure of sleep quality.
- Users can manage sleep score notifications through the Watch app on iPhone or directly on the Apple Watch via the Settings app.
- watchOS 26 with sleep score is compatible with Apple Watch Series 6 and later, including Apple Watch Ultra and SE 2, with the Series 11 model currently discounted to $329 on Amazon.
