Since my son was born, I’m more obsessed than ever with tracking my sleep. Did I get the recommended 1.5-two hours of deep sleep needed, and how many times did I actually wake up? Most nights, I’ll go to sleep wearing my Apple Watch 10 and my Oura Ring 4, because despite being one of the best fitness trackers on the market, the Apple Watch falls short of one sleep feature nearly every other tracker on the market has had for years — a sleep score.
Apple has been able to expertly track your different sleep stages for years, as well as your total time in bed and total time asleep. That said, you do need to remember to put your watch into sleep mode before falling asleep, and ensure it’s got enough charge to record your sleep all night. If you have the vitals app pinned to your Smart Stack, you can see a breakdown of your sleep each morning, but unlike Garmin, Oura, and Whoop, Apple doesn’t give you an overall sleep score. However, according to rumors, we might not have long to wait.
