Best Sleep Tracking Apple Watch Apps
NapBot is pretty much exactly as it sounds, a bot for tracking your naps or aka sleep. It automatically tracks and records your sleep but better yet, it also actively monitors ambient noise while you’re alseep to see if you’re being interrupted by any loud noises at night (don’t worry, it doesn’t record any sound). The paid version offers ‘Sleep History’ and ‘Sleep Trends’ to get a better sense of how you’re tracking over time. It also integrates with Apple Health. We love the look of the simple, easy to understand charts.

Pillow is one of the best apple watch sleep trackers on the market with an interface very similar to Apple’s own Activity app although it simply tracks you while you are alseep. It not only measures the quality of your sleep you’re getting but uses that information to gently buzz you awake at an optimum time. Similar to NapBot, it also syncs with Apple Health.
2. Pillow Automatic Sleep Tracker
The AutoSleep tracker delivers more information than you could ever ask for and is among the most in-depth sleep tracking apps in the App Store. The apple watch app is organised into three key areas: Sleep (how long you slept for); Quality (how restless you were); and Readiness (how ready you are to cope with the day ahead). Similar to Pillow, it’s interface also shares a familiarity with Apple’s Activity app and also works as a complication for your chosen watch face.
