What You'll Learn
Set up Sleep app on Apple Watch
To set up the Sleep app on your Apple Watch, you will need to ensure your Apple Watch is charged to at least 30% before going to bed. This is to ensure that your watch has enough power to track your sleep.
Next, you will need to open the Health app on your iPhone. From there, tap 'Browse' at the bottom of the screen and then tap 'Sleep'. You can then set up your sleep schedule, including your sleep goal (how many hours of sleep you want to get), your bedtime and wake-up times, and your wind-down time.
You can also turn on Sleep Focus, which will reduce distractions before you go to bed and while you are sleeping by simplifying your Lock Screen and limiting notifications. You can give certain people or apps permission to notify you during this time.
On your Apple Watch, look for the Sleep app, which has a bed icon with a greenish-blue background. When you open the Sleep app, scroll down to check or set your sleep schedule.
You can also set up Charging Reminders, which will notify you to charge your Apple Watch before bedtime if your battery is low.

Sync Apple Watch with iPhone
To track your sleep on the Apple Watch Series 1, you must first sync it with your iPhone. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to sync your Apple Watch with your iPhone:
Firstly, ensure that your Apple Watch and iPhone meet the minimum requirements for pairing. Your Apple Watch must be an SE (2nd generation), Series 6 or later, Apple Watch Ultra, or Apple Watch Ultra 2 with watchOS 11 or later. Your iPhone must be updated to the latest version of iOS, and both devices should be charged.
Next, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone. If this is your first Apple Watch, tap 'Set Up Apple Watch' and follow the instructions on both devices to finish the setup.

Tap 'Apps & Data' and 'Settings' to use Express Setup, or tap 'Customize Settings' to set up a new device manually.
During the setup process, you will be asked to sign in to your Apple Account, create a passcode, and customize settings such as text size. You can also enter personal information, such as your date of birth and height, which will be used for fitness and health tracking.
Once your Apple Watch is paired with your iPhone, you can use the Health app to track your sleep. Open the Health app, tap 'Browse', then tap 'Sleep'. From here, you can view data on your recent nights of sleep and set your sleep schedule.
Additional Tips:
- If you are having trouble syncing your Apple Watch with your iPhone, try resetting your Apple Watch sync data and re-pairing the two devices.
- You can also use the Watch app on your iPhone to sync photos and contacts to your Apple Watch.
- To track your sleep, make sure your Apple Watch is charged to at least 30% before bed, and wear it to sleep for at least 1 hour.

Charge Apple Watch before bed
To ensure your Apple Watch Series 1 is ready to track your sleep, it is recommended to charge it for about 60 to 90 minutes every evening before bed. This will ensure that your Apple Watch battery is topped off for around-the-clock wearability. For example, if your bedtime is 10:00 p.m., start charging your watch at 8:30 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. Alternatively, you can charge it for 30-45 minutes in the morning while getting ready and for another 30-45 minutes in the evening before bedtime.
It is important to ensure that your Apple Watch is charged to at least 30% before you go to bed. If your Apple Watch is charged less than 30% before bedtime, you will be prompted to charge it. You can turn on "Charging Reminders" in the Settings app so that your watch can notify you to charge it before bedtime if your battery is low in the evening.
To set up sleep tracking on your Apple Watch, you can access the Sleep app on your watch or the Health app on your iPhone. In the Health app, tap "Browse" at the bottom of the screen, then tap "Sleep". From here, you can view data on recent nights of sleep and set your sleep schedule. You can also create multiple sleep schedules, such as one for weekdays and another for weekends.
On your Apple Watch, look for a bed icon with a greenish-blue background to access the Sleep app. When you open the Sleep app, scroll down to check or set your sleep schedule. You can also adjust your wind-down and sleep goal as needed on your iPhone or Apple Watch. In the Sleep app, tap the "sleep-alarm-icon" in the upper-left corner, then tap "Wind Down" or "Sleep Goal" under "Options".
After setting up sleep tracking and wearing your Apple Watch to bed, you can view your sleep data in the Health app on your iPhone or iPad. Tap "Browse" at the bottom of the screen, then tap "Sleep" to view your sleep history. You can also view your recent sleep data on your Apple Watch by opening the Sleep app and turning the Digital Crown.

Wear Apple Watch for at least 1 hour
To track your sleep on the Apple Watch Series 1, you must wear the watch for at least one hour each night. If you don't wear your Apple Watch to sleep, your graph might not show any data.
The Apple Watch uses the sleep schedule (or Sleep Focus, which you can turn on manually) to know when you might be sleeping. During this time, it uses your movements and your phone usage to detect whether you're sleeping and to estimate the time spent in each sleep stage: REM, Core, and Deep sleep.
To ensure your watch will track your sleep, you need to configure your Watch-specific sleep settings in the Watch app. The easiest way to access this is from the Health app. Tap 'Full Schedule & Options' from the Sleep screen, and at the bottom of that screen, tap 'Manage Sleep in the Apple Watch App'. This will take you straight to the Watch settings.
Turn on 'Track Sleep with Apple Watch' to enable tracking and turn on 'Charging Reminders' so the Watch can notify you to charge it before bedtime if your battery is low in the evening.
Make sure your Apple Watch is charged to at least 30% before bed with Sleep Tracking enabled. It is also important to wear your Apple Watch at a comfortable fit. If your watch is too loose, the accelerometer might register too much movement during your natural sleep.

- Charge your watch before bed to ensure it has enough battery to track your sleep.
- Set up charging reminders so your watch can notify you to charge it before bedtime if your battery is low.
