Brett’s iTip: Use Your Apple Watch to get insight into your sleep habits. In order to best track your sleep, you’ll need to wear your Apple Watch overnight while you sleep, and the Watch must be in Sleep Mode. And this works in conjunction with the Health App on your iPhone where you set up your Sleep Schedule.
