Sleep tracking on your Samsung Galaxy Watch 5

Last Update date : 2022-09-27

The Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 5 Pro both offer advanced sleep monitoring, complete with a detailed analysis of your sleep activity. These include how much time you spent in various sleep stages, when you were awake, how much you slept, time spent snoring, and more.

You can check these data right on your smartwatch or in the Samsung Health app. Unlike older Samsung watches such as the Galaxy Watch Active 2 and Watch 3, which required users to manually activate the sleep tracking feature, the Galaxy Watch 5 can automatically detect when you fall asleep and start recording sleep activity. It also gives you a sleep score that’s calculated based on factors like your total sleep time, sleep cycles, movements and awakenings during sleep, REM sleep, and so on.

 

The Galaxy Watch 5 series also offers sleep coaching to help you sleep better. Sleep coaching can be activated from the Samsung Health app. The feature analyzes your sleep patterns for a week and then builds you a personalized 4-week sleep coaching plan, providing useful tips and guidance for improving sleep habits.

In addition, the Galaxy Watch 5 can also detect snoring activity and monitor your blood oxygen level during sleep. On the Galaxy Watch 4, the snoring detection feature uses your smartphone’s microphone to listen to snoring sounds. But with the Galaxy Watch 5 series, you don’t need to have your smartphone around — the watch can do it all by itself. You can also turn on audio recording, with the option to automatically delete audio clips after 7, 31, or 100 days.
