Description
Use your Apple Watch to track and measure your sleep!
Sleep++ takes advantage of the motion tracking capabilities of your Apple Watch to closely measure both the duration and quality of your sleep. The better you understand how well you are sleeping the more you are able to make changes in your routines to benefit your rest.
To get started simply:
1) Wear your Apple Watch while you sleep.
2) Tell Sleep++ when you start sleeping.
3) Tell Sleep++ when you wake up.
Sleep++ with then analyze your night's sleep and give you a detailed breakdown of how well you slept and how restless you were.
Optionally integrates with HealthKit providing you a safe and private way to share your sleep data with other health or fitness apps.
Note: It is recommended that you place your Apple Watch in Airplane Mode while you sleep to help preserve battery life.
What's New in Version 1.0.2
Thank you so much for helping Sleep++ get off to such a strong start! I really appreciate all the feedback and am working hard at making the app even better.
This update is smaller bug fix update while I work on a few bigger features for v1.1. It includes:
- Makes it clearer within the app if motion tracking permission was allowed by the user.
- Allows you to delete nights from the iPhone app (Swipe on the row you want to remove)
If you have a minute to leave a review in the App Store I would really appreciate it. It really helps get the word out about the app.

Bed time tracker NOT sleep tracker
If all you need is an app to measure the time difference between the time you hit “Start Sleeping” (time you theoretically go to bed) and the time you hit “Stop Sleeping” (time you get out), this app is fine, but otherwise it does nothing else. The “Restless” time it measures means really nothing. Unless you shake your wrist to tell the watch you are awake it will not capture as restless time. If you lay quietly in bed (so as not to wake up your partner) or even moving around changing positions, it will not notice you are awake and it keeps recording as sleeping time. You really have to shake your arm to let it know or walk around. I have tried both behaviors over several nights, and yep….unless you make the effort to let the watch know what your status is. So if all you want is to measure the time difference between start and stop this app is pretty much useless. And personally I don’t think it is worth for that. Takes less time to record that somewhere else (including a health tracker) than have to change the watch back and forth between airplane mode and hit start and stop every time you want to sleep or nap.
Poor readings
My use has spanned over two months now and I am disappointed to report that the app might record my restful/restless ratio accurately one night every 10 to 12 times. Most nights I have slept well are marked with a 90+ percentage of restlessness and nights I know were awful are marked as less than 20% restless. I inadvertently left it running, (Yes, you have to manually stop and start the app. It does not self-monitor by observing the wearer's activity levels.) it showed all of my wakeful, active hours as restful sleep. It is as if it were reading things backwards. Doesn't matter how tight the band is or sleeping position. I'm fully awake and laying very still and it might record it as restful time. But when I'm dead asleep and know I haven't moved for hours, it's recording it as restless. Poor performance and I had very high hopes seeing this is supposedly the best sleep app for the watch. I guess if I want a good sleep device I should have just gone with the FitBit and saved a heck of a lot of money. Good thing there's other reasons my watch is used.
Very basic sleep app
This is a very basic sleep app that tracks when your in bed and it appears to only monitor movement during this period of time to determine restlessness. This is not at the level of a Microsoft Band or FitBit but I can see this app easily being the top sleep monitor for the Apple Watch if the developer would add some basic metrics to automatically detect sleep, sleep efficiency, automatically call late hours of in bed time minus movement and number of times woken up. Those metrics can be easily added based on the current metrics that are being taken. Additionally, Sleep++ will write to the health kit but it does not separate the "in bed" time and the "asleep time" so you basically only get one metric of in bed time on the Health Kit. I hope the developer continues to update this app because it has a ton of potential.
