I don't have an Apple Watch right now, I've tried the Azumio and Runtastic apps to no avail. Apparently Health allows for sleep tracking, but I don't see how to enable it. Again, I'd use my iPhone 6 S, but theoretically one could use the watch. Ben > On Mar 18, 2016, at 12:06, Donna Goo

I didn’t think the Apple watch collected sleep data, I thought that was going to be added in the next addition. I’m glad to here my impression is wrong. I used a fitbit to accomplish this and it worked really well. I switched away from it because the Apple watch is much more accessible

To add to that, Jonathan, how do you use it? Don't you have to charge the Watch? I can't figure out how you can use the Watch during the day, then let it track you at night without charging, then use it the next day. Sleep tracking is something I'd like to try when I get a Watch, but charging

Yeah but think of this, If your asleep your not going to check your phone or watch, And if your moving around while your asleep how does the app you use know that your not awake and moving or s=having a really bad night sleep. Personally I prefer to sleep and worry later if I’m relaxed or tired
