Here’s How to Enable Sleep Detection in watchOS 7

At its WWDC keynote yesterday, Apple unveiled the new version of watchOS. CalledwatchOS 7, the new operating system brings a couple of new features and improvements. However, the biggest feature is probably the native sleep detection in Apple Watch. We have the developer beta of watchOS 7 installed on our Apple Watch, so if you’re wondering how to enable sleep detection in watchOS 7, we’ve got you covered.

Enable Sleep Detection in Apple Watch

Enabling sleep detection on the Apple Watch is fairly easy. However, I will mention all the steps with screenshots so you can follow along without any issues.

Note:I am using the Apple Watch Series 5 for this how to. However, the feature is available on the Apple Watch Series 3, and Apple Watch Series 4 as well.

That’s it, your sleep schedule has been set up. If you set up a schedule only for the weekdays, you can create a second schedule for weekends as well. This is great if you like sleeping in on your weekends and don’t want your watch to wake you up early in the morning.

If you feel like changing any of these settings later on, you can do that without a hassle. So don’t worry too much about setting up sleep tracking perfectly in your first try. Play around with the settings until you get the perfect mix of options that work best for you.

Well that’s it. You have successfully set up sleep tracking in watchOS 7. If you’re not willing to install the developer beta on your watch, you can wait till July when Apple will release a public beta as well. That will be more stable than this version, so you can install it without as much worry. Anyway, have you been using any third party apps to track your sleep, or were you holding out for Apple to bring sleep tracking to Apple Watch? Iknow I wasn’t, but let me know in the comments.
