Apple has a proven history of putting their health tracking programs through rigorous scientific vetting before release. In fact, they often have the hardware and software in the watch without enabling it until they’ve gotten all approvals. This feature will be great once it launches. Apple has been at the forefront for health features for a long time and this is another chapter in their history.

Great effort by Apple ! Now they almost solved sleep tracking. I wasn't expecting such an achievement. This came out of nowhere. Awesome ! I hope the rest follows. Thanks Rob for bringing it up. So if Apple is able to extract brain status from heart rate and movement data, then it should be easier to extract blood pressure from the same data. Hope they will do it as well.

Hi! I guess blood pressure is a tricky one, but maybe they can pull it off. When you are asleep you are in a relatively "controlled" state (not moving to much, low HR). I could imagine that it is more tricky to predict BP from things like HR and HRV and whatever other data comes from the optical sensor. However, maybe they can find a good proxy that predicts BP okay

Just an observation: Apple Watch seems to show a lot more transients (or spikes) in readings compared to the Dreem2. From a software perspective, this might be because of the sensitive transient and suppressing techniques used. If you do actually filter the short duration spikes, the accuracy of Apple Watch is remarkly high! Great video by the way.

I’m curious if the rumored new temperature sensor in the soon to be released Watch will have any impact on the sleep algorithm. Also great job on the video I felt like this was a bit more polished than maybe some of your others in the past. Can’t pinpoint what it was but you are doing an amazing job at the production process.

Thank you Rob! I was very curious about the accuracy as I recently started wearing the watch and amazed by the data but was curious how accurate it is. I am 51 years old and have had sleep issues all my life, did home studies and PSGs but finally got a doctor who ordered a MSLT (which stupid insurance took almost a year to approve because of all the other things they insisted be done first to rule out). I finally was diagnosed with Narcolepsy w/cataplexy in the last 1 1/2 years. I spent almost my entire adulthood being diagnosed and treated for depression, anxiety, ADD and being told it was all in my head and nothing was wrong. Most people don't understand the impact it has on every day life. May sound silly but it is gratifying to finally have a diagnosis that makes sense, that I can see test results that support the diagnosis. So now having the ability to track without full sleep studies is invaluable!! I have only been using the Apple watch for a short time but already finding the information extremely insightful. Using the data, making a few changes and already seeing some results (albeit just a little) that I am hoping can lead to significant improvements. Thank you for the detailed analysis and helping me determine how much assurance I can have in in the data!

I ended up buying an Apple Watch 8 after watching this video (long time Garmin watch owner). While I know my Epix 2 likely over-reports deep sleep (Avg = 1:45m a night... but it registers deep sleep even when detecting movement so it's clearly wrong), my Apple watch consistently only reports ~40m a night. This seems low considering I seemingly do everything right - diet, eating several hours before bedtime, exercising, going to bed around 10, reduced light exposure at night, little caffeine / only in AM, no alcohol, etc. I feel like I need to get a Dreem 2 to settle the accuracy score once and for all.

Thank you for your test - it was very exciting. In my opinion, the best thing so far has been a customized AutoSleep configuration in combination with an Apple Watch. I know you have already tested AutoSleep, but not with a customized configuration. Could you compare the Apple Sleep Tracking which you tested as a beta with AutoSleep with a customized configuration? AutoSleep also has years of experience and it would be super exciting to know if they are finally better, or if you should still rely on AutoSleep with an Apple Watch. I also think I'm not the only one that would be in the answer of this question of questions. By the way, there are also options in AutoSleep (together with AutoWake) where recommendations are given and a sleep account which is taken into account for it (which you are interested in, as you said at the end). In any case, thanks for your work - I've shared it multiple times with a larger audience :)

Up until 12:45 where you show the dates, I thought you said eighty nights like a dozen times throughout the video, not eighteeN nights :o As a (fellow? you sound dutch) dutch person, one tip I've heard to differentiate easier is to put the stress on the second syllable when saying 1x (eighTEEN) and on the first when saying x0 (EIGHty). This does make me wonder a lot more about the p-value on all this, as this is supposed to be scientific after all and there are no error bars in e.g. the conclusion chart shown at 12:15. Don't get me wrong, it's a solid analysis nonetheless, but it's a bit hard to know just how conclusive the comparison is or if there are overlaps in the error bars :)

Thanks so much for this video. Having sleep issues I bought the Apple Watch 7 as soon as the Watch OS 9 beta came out and have been using it every night. My sleep cycles were showing pretty poor sleep with frequent wake ups. I wasn't sure if it was the Apple Watch not working well or if I just sleep that poorly. I had a couple of family members that sleep soundly use it a couple of nights and the sleep data was completely different for them and looked like healthy sleep patterns. I figured the watch must be somewhat accurate since It showed poor sleep for me with sleep issues, and showed good sleep for family members with good sleep patterns. But this video gives me even more confidence in the Apple Watch's sleep data.

Hi Rob, thank you for this very informative video. I use an Oura3 ring and I’ve noticed the sleep analysis seems to overstate my deep sleep and understate my REM sleep. After watching your video, I borrowed my wife’s Apple Watch7 and confirmed this to be the case (assuming the Apple Watch is more accurate which your video appears to indicate). Within the past few days, Oura has just introduced a “New Sleep Staging Beta” for sleep analysis. I went back and reanalyzed my sleep data with this new beta algorithm and it now seems to agree much better with the Apple Watch data! Here is my question - I was wondering if you could compare the Oura3 ring sleep beta with the brain wave measurement device that you use as a control to see how accurate it is or how well it now correlates? Or do you already have plans to do so? It would be good to know if Oura finally got it right.

These are incredibly excellent results for sleep tracking as well, and I completely agree - I strongly wish Apple would provide recommendations or at least a simple score.

It is difficult for me to balance speed of the video vs mentioning biases/disclosures, especially in the videos where I address everything from heart rate, GPS, steps, ..., to sleep. However, happy to hear it worked out in this video! Good question, and honestly, I have to say, I did not look at that. I should though!😊

Great video and great work. First time to this channel and I’m pretty skeptical of the information that I take in, but this seems very scientific and certainly delivered in a very friendly and inviting manner. I wouldn’t be surprised if this channel grows much bigger in coming years because of the quality of content and how you explain it. Also, don’t listen to all the critics; they don’t know what they are talking about and people will find anything to complain about or be nasty about. There is absolutely no reason that a small friendly KZbinr would want to be biased in favor of Apple. Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching your channel grow as more and more devices get serious about health related tech.

And now, the newer watches have temperature tracking. It doesn't track it the same as the oxygen tracking in that it tracks in the background, as well as on demand, the temperature tracking just tracks body temperature, and only in the background. This I think might help improve sleep stages just a little bit more. It seems to be actually quite accurate with me in terms of how it tracks sleep, given that I usually check the time right before I go to sleep, and I'm genuinely pretty good at judgement in time, so if it says 11:15 when I go into bed, and then I fall asleep at 11:30, I feel like I might actually fall asleep around that time given that I wake up and as I'm looking through the data, realize just how long it took me to fall asleep. I also listen to things on a low volume and play to where I last remember hearing the recording, and that usually helps me in determining sleep onset.

Apple is doing great on making sure the data they track is actually accurate. They're really showing up the competing brands in terms of scientific accuracy, which is really what you want when you're tracking your health data. The main problem with apple is reparability but I guess that's a problem with all health tracking devices these days.

Thank you so much for putting so much work into this comparison! I’ve had 3 sleep studies during the past several years (2 PSGs+ MSLT, 1 home study), so I’m very familiar with how complex and sensitive those tests are. After my latest PSG/MSLT, my neurologist diagnosed me with narcolepsy type 1, a rare neurological disorder that causes all sorts of sleep dysfunction, particularly with REM sleep. To put it simply, my brain goes into REM sleep far too quickly and easily, even when I’m awake. Daytime REM sleep intrusion is a frequent occurrence, and can cause sleep attacks, “micro sleeps” (staring episodes that resemble absence seizures), hallucinations (visual, auditory, and tactile), and cataplexy, a weird symptom that causes partial or full body muscle weakness as a result of strong (usually positive) emotional stimuli. This muscle weakness resembles the paralysis that keeps you from acting out your dreams while sleeping. Because of these issues, watch sleep tracking isn’t as accurate for narcoleptics, but it’s better than nothing. Luckily, some researchers are currently conducting a study to help make fitness trackers more accurate for narcoleptic patients. The study is currently limited to just Fitbit devices, but hopefully it’ll be open to Apple Watch users (like me) soon. That said, it’s cool to see just how remarkably accurate it is for the general population! Even if it’s not 100%, I’m glad I can generally rely on my Apple Watch sleep tracking data.

Kana - I have almost the exact same diagnosis as yours. I am 51 years old and have had sleep issues all my life, did home studies and PSGs but finally got a doctor who ordered a MSLT (which stupid insurance took almost a year to approve because of all the other things they insisted be done first to rule out). I finally was diagnosed with Narcolepsy w/cataplexy in the last 1 1/2 years. I spent almost my entire adulthood being diagnosed and treated for depression, anxiety, ADD and being told it was all in my head and nothing was wrong. Most people don't understand the impact it has on every day life. May sound silly but it is gratifying to finally have a diagnosis that makes sense, that I can see and track and to hear others with the same struggles. I have only been using the Apple watch for a short time but already finding the information invaluable! Using the data, making a few changes and already seeing some results.

@@anneskeen3195 Sounds like we were diagnosed at around the same time! I was diagnosed in February 2021, but I initially developed it back in late 2012. It took 8 years to get my diagnosis, and I struggled with a lot of the same misdiagnoses (depression, anxiety) plus some other ones (severe insomnia, CFS, “bad sleep hygiene”). I also had a lot of doctors who would tell me “I’ve found the answer! Treating this anemia/hypothyroidism/vitamin D deficiency will make you feel so much better!” I really did have those issues, but they weren’t the magical answer that those doctors hoped for. (I also had undiagnosed ADHD, but unfortunately, that didn’t get diagnosed until early 2022.) It took over a year for me to finally get my 2nd PSG/MSLT (the one that actually got me diagnosed) too, but that was because I did my negative home study in late 2019, and got referred for my PSG/MSLT in early 2020… right when the sleep labs closed due to COVID-19. The delay ended up being a blessing in disguise though: the sleep clinic that did my at home study took forever to restart in lab studies, so my ENT doc (who had referred me to sleep medicine due to a deviated septum) sent me to the other sleep clinic because they were already doing in lab studies again. I ended up meeting my current doctor there, a sleep medicine neurologist who’s now my all-time favorite doctor (which is an accomplishment, because I’ve been blessed with a lot of amazing doctors). My MSLT actually came back negative, but this doctor took a closer look at the results and realized it was a false negative result. I don’t think many non-neurologist sleep docs would have figured that out, so I was very lucky to end up with him. Living with narcolepsy is really hard, but luckily, I’ve found some amazing online support groups that make this narcoleptic existence a lot less lonely! I’ve also met some other people with it who live in my area. Please feel free to message me if you ever want to talk to another person who gets it! 😊

Having just raw information about sleep stages might not be that useful without some additional feedback based on that. Btw. do you plan to review Garmin forerunner 955?

I switched from a Fitbit Versa 3 to an Apple Watch recently, so I know both sleep tracking systems. What I find weird is that the Apple Watch only tracks sleeping when you're in your sleep time that you have to set up beforehand. If the alarm goes off but you decide to continue sleeping that additional sleep doesn't get tracked. If I turn off the alarm entirely your sleep doesn't get tracked at all. The Fitbit tracks your sleep no matter when. Take a nap in the afternoon and it gets tracked automatically. From my experience the Apple Watch wouldn't do that. Fitbit's only limit is that sleep phase tracking only works if you sleep for at least 3 hours. Is there a reason why Apple doesn't track all of your sleep? This also means that my average sleeping time in the Health app gets less meaningful.

My struggle with the Apple Watch is that I read at night and it always tracks the majority of that time as light sleep. As someone who struggles to get much more than 5.5 hours of sleep a night, capturing 10-40 minutes that I am unwinding with a book is significant in my quest to get more sleep. It is hard to know if there was a night that I crossed the six-hour mark was because something I did made it easier to get more sleep or if the watch just captured my reading time.

I’ve been testing Apple’s sleep staging, since the first beta build dropped in early June. I’ve also been wearing WHOOP for over 2.5 years, and I’ve found it’s sleep staging to be very accurate. In my testing, the Apple Watch and WHOOP differ greatly in the amount of deep sleep that they capture. For example, WHOOP says I get between 1.5-2 hours a night vs. 30-40 minutes for Apple Watch. I’m curious as to how both of these feature among the best you’ve tested (upper right of your comparison graph), when they yield such different results.

My results are even more skewed. I use Autosleep to track my sleep which normally indicates 1-2 hours of deep sleep per night. The Apple app has been estimating between zero and 30 minutes of deep sleep per night which is highly unlikely (although I don't have an EEG device as a benchmark). I posted a thread in the Apple support forums and some other users are having a similar experience.

Wow! I really had believed that Apple would manage a great tracker, but to see this, I’m super impressed. I love my Apple Watch, and I am so excited to have this added sleep data to be able to talk to my doctor. I’ve done a home sleep study that was “inconclusive” so they basically said I have to go in to the sleep lab. Between homeschooling four kids, and some not so nice anxiety issues, I know that I wouldn’t sleep worth a damn at a lab. Plus they told me they could end up with the same dang “inconclusive” result even from the lab readings. At least with my Apple Watch I will have some pretty darn accurate data it would seem over time, and hopefully that will help them do something rather than nothing….

The information from an Apple Watch is great and helpful, but not diagnostic in any sense. In some ways the sleep staging part of polysomnography is not super important. Nine time out of ten we’re looking at sleep apnoea - unhelpful, the other times we are looking at PLMD or narcolepsy. In the former sleep stages are unhelpful, and in the latter the Apple Watch is not nearly precise enough.
