Apple Watch includes a built-in sleep tracking feature.

Just wear your Apple Watch to bed, and it works automatically.

No need to install apps or enter a special mode.

watchOS 26 takes sleep tracking further with Apple’s sleep score feature.

Sleep score is a great way to visualize the quality of your sleep from night to night.

There’s one setting in particular that has made sleep score especially useful for me.
