Who doesn't love sleep? It plays a huge part in our overall health and well-being, influencing how we feel and function every day.
This is the intended messaging that Apple has through their wellness ecosystem, weaved into several Apple devices to better support users in achieving their sleep goals and gaining deeper insights on their health at night.
Whether you have an Apple Watch or HomePod mini set up (and updated to the latest software), you'll be able to do better in sleep today. It's never too late!
For the best experience, especially if you're using an Apple Watch, make sure your health details are also updated in the Health app on iPhone for the most accurate data tracking. With that, you can get the likes of Sleep Apnea notifications and vital insights to learn about your nightly health on the Apple Watch.
Experiencing Better Sleep with Apple
There are many Apple apps and products that you can utilise to help you get better into sleep. Apps like Fitness+, Sleep meditation and Apple Music, or devices such as the Apple Watch, HomePod mini, and Apple Music all work together to improve the whole sleep experience.
Here are some simple ways to help you prep for a good night's sleep.
- Exercise: A burst of energy output, followed by proper cooldown, can actually help your body to rest better and fall asleep much faster. Try the Apple Fitness+ app to wind down or do simple low-impact exercises to help you fall asleep smoothly.
- Sounds: Perhaps you can consider sleeping with audio aid on Apple Sounscapes. Try ASMR sounds of rain or water droplets, as the tingling sounds may help to relax your body.
- Meditate: Get a calming 5-minute sleep meditation, with Apple Meditation, where you can try simple but practical exercise to clear your mind, emptying out all thoughts to prep your bed for the night.
- Stories: The mindfulness needed to pay attention to stories could help lull you to sleep. Try the Sleep category on Apple Books or Podcasts, which has interesting yet calming stories to share. Just make sure not to choose an action-filled one!
How Apple Devices Support Your Sleep
The Apple Watch continuously monitors sleep patterns, heart rate, and even breathing disturbances during the night. When paired with the Health app on iPhone, it provides detailed insights and trends into your sleeping patterns.
Beyond tracking, Fitness+ offers guided meditations and mindful cooldowns that can help prepare the body and mind for rest. The HomePod mini can integrate with smart home routines to adjust lighting and temperature for optimal sleep environments, and the Apple Music contains a library of calming soundscapes or sleep stories to drift off to.
By bringing these elements together, Apple teaches users to actively improve their sleep rather than just keeping track of their sleep habits. The devices work in harmony to guide us toward making informed choices for better rest and overall well-being.
