Re: Tracking sleep in iOS/watchOS
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýJim Robertson?wrote: I have central sleep apnea, for which I sleep using an ¡°ASV¡± (automated servo-ventilation) machine. Recently, for no reason other than ¡°I can,¡± I started using the iOS and watchOS ¡°Health¡± apps to track my sleep stages (light, deep, and REM), but it seems I must MANUALLY activate the ¡°Sleep¡± app on my watch in order for that to work. Is that how it should be? Both watchOS and iOS are current. My phone is a 14Pro and my watch is a Series 7 (GPS + Cellular). If I don¡¯t do that, my phone shows interrupted blocks of time all in turquoise color and DRAMATICALLY overstates my sleep time, including even times when I¡¯m up and walking around. For several years I have had morning discomfort in my back if I sleep, as I have most of my life, on my side, and if I lay flat on my back in bed, I *will* have obstructive sleep apnea. My solution has been to sleep in my La-Z-Boy recliner, with my head elevated in the 30-45¡ã range. I may snore occasionally, but this seems to work to prevent OSA for me. I wear my Apple Watch nearly every night, and often check my sleep analysis in the Health App in the morning after I get up ¨C or after the last sleep period after the last time I got up to void¡ I not uncommonly take a nap in the late afternoon. Here is a typical display for me: The undifferentiated section on the left is my daytime nap (on the 24th), While the differentiated bulk of the display is my overnight sleep (starting around 2 AM). I¡¯m currently on a original Ultra watch (since October 2022), but I was doing this with its predecessor as well. Under Settings / Focus I have Sleep Focus set with a time schedule (in my case, 1AM to 9AM). Maybe that is what you need to do. Or, on the watch, open that Sleep App, and scroll down until you get to ¡°schedule¡±¡ --? Jim Saklad |
