It will be interesting to see how this works. I often wear my Apple Watch Ultra 2 during the night, but it is definitely not always accurate with respect to recording sleep. Last week I had a night where I slept very pourly and while I want to bed as always around 10:30 and my sleep focus kicked in at 10:45 PM, I received a notification congratulating me on reaching my 8 hour sleep goal when in reality I maybe had a combined 3 to 4 hours of sleep that night. I guess lying in bed quietly and without moving a lot and listening to an audio book made the watch think I was asleep.

This means Apple is now permitted to roll out the feature to eligible Apple Watch models in Canada. The sleep apnea detection feature is supported on the newest Apple Watch Series 10 as well as the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2. Earlier this month, Apple offered an in-depth breakdown of how the feature taps into the Apple Watch’s accelerometer to alert users to potential Breathing Disturbances: Sleep is an important area of health as it impacts a person’s overall physical and mental wellbeing. Sleep apnea is a prevalent disorder in which breathing momentarily stops during sleep, preventing the body from getting enough oxygen. The condition is estimated to impact more than 1 billion people worldwide, and in most cases, goes undiagnosed. If left untreated, it can have important health consequences over time, including increased risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiac issues. Breathing Disturbances is an innovative new Apple Watch metric that uses the accelerometer to detect small movements at the wrist associated with interruptions to normal respiratory patterns during sleep. Every 30 days, Apple Watch will analyze breathing disturbance data and notify users if it shows consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea so they can speak to their doctor about next steps, including potential diagnosis and treatment. Apple has promised that sleep apnea notifications will be available in more than 150 countries and regions this month.
