How was your sleep last night? Sleep++ for Apple Watch is a great way to
quantify your rest, and today the app is adding a new way to interpret your
sleep quality. The new feature explains how last night's sleep affects your
day ahead.
<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sleep/id1038440371> Sleep++ version 4.5
introduces Readiness Score, a new stat that helps explain how restorative
your sleep was. Your score will range from 0 to 100, and higher numbers mean
more readiness. The idea is that if you score a low number, it may be wise
to avoid overexerting yourself today and plan ahead for improved sleep
tonight.
Your Readiness Score is based on three measurements collected by the Apple
Watch:
* Heart Rate Variability
* Resting Heart Rate
* Restful Sleep Duration
Sleep++ displays each of these values along with your Readiness Score as
determined by the app. Importantly, Sleep++ supports automatic sleep
tracking without manually starting and stopping sessions or scheduling your
sleep ahead of time. All you have to do is wear your

Developer David Smith explains how users should approach the new feature:
It is important to treat this value as an indicator and not a clinical
measurement. While there is substantial research to indicate that these
three factors generally correlate with your sleep performance, they can be
impacted by a wide variety of factors that can reduce their precision. The
idea here is to give you a general sense of how prepared your body is and
for you to then use that to make healthy choices for your day.
