How to Set a Sleep Schedule on an Apple Watch

In watchOS 9, Apple introduced Sleep Stages, a major update that significantly improves the functionality of the Apple Watch’s native Sleep app. Along with the length of time that you were awake, the Apple Watch is able to tell you how much time you spent in REM sleep, Core sleep, or Deep sleep throughout the course of the night using a feature called Sleep Stages.

You can also use this information to compare it with the measures of your heart rate, respiration rate, and (on models of the Apple Watch 8 and Apple Watch Ultra) wrist temperature that your Apple Watch is able to take throughout the night. In order to get started with Apple Watch’s sleep monitoring features, you will first need to create a sleep routine on your Apple Watch. The steps that are listed below will teach you how to complete the task.
