Apple Watch can now track your sleep in a much more detailed manner – thanks to watchOS 9. The latest software update to all supported Apple Watch models now allows users to track their sleep data in a more detailed fashion akin to the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Pro and other fitness focused watches. What's surprising is that it took Apple a couple of years to bring this feature to the Apple Watch that most affordable fitness trackers have been offering as standard.

Sadly, the Apple Watch still cannot track sleep on its own and it requires the user to put it into Sleep mode to do so. However, once in Sleep mode, compatible Apple Watch models with watchOS 9 will be able to bring more in-depth analysis of Sleep data, alongside additional metrics such as heart rate and respiratory rate.

With the watchOS 9 update, the Apple Watch Sleep tracking feature will now be able to measure various stages of sleep such as REM, Core, or Deep sleep, as well as when the user is awake during the sleep cycle. Apple sales this is done with the signals from the accelerometer and heart rate sensor.

“Users will see sleep stage data on Apple Watch in the Sleep app and can view more detailed information, like time asleep, alongside additional metrics, like heart rate and respiratory rate, in sleep comparison charts in the Health app on iPhone,” says Apple.

Additionally, the Sleep app still allows users to create their Wind Down and Bedtime schedules, which is synchronised with all other Apple devices registered to the Apple ID account.

Although Sleep tracking has been available on Apple Watch models for the past few years, it is watchOS 9 that brings the detailed sleep analysis to the modern versions of the Apple Watch. watchOS 9 is compatible with Apple
