What is sleep focus on Apple Watch?

Adjust the amount of time the Wind Down feature is active by tapping Wind Down and choosing how long you want the Sleep Focus to be on before bed. Before your appointed bedtime, the Sleep Focus turns off the watch display and activates Do Not Disturb.

Can Apple Watch detect sleep apnea?

The Apple Watch can recognize patterns that could indicate sleep apnea, but it cannot be used to make a diagnosis of OSA. It monitors sleep cycles and detects movement using an integrated accelerometer and heart rate sensor.
