At its WWDC keynote yesterday, Apple unveiled the new version of watchOS. Called watchOS 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.
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.
- Tap on ‘Active On’ to choose the days you want the schedule to run. Personally, I’ll set it to ‘Everyday’.
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.
- Next, your watch will ask you to enable ‘Time Asleep Tracking’. Simply tap on ‘Enable’. You can also skip this if you want, but your watch will not track your sleep in that case.
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.
