Description:
Apple may be working on a sleep score feature for the Apple Watch, according 
to leaked images.

FULL STORY
======================================================================Apple 
could add a sleep score in a future Apple Watch update It could measure your 
sleep stages, temperature, and more We dont know when  or if  this feature 
will be added to watchOS 

The best Apple Watches can track many things, including several different 
aspects of your nighttime slumber. But one thing they cant do right now is 
provide you with a score that indicates the quality of your sleep. Yet 
according to a leaked graphic, thats something that might soon be coming to 
Apples wearable. 

That information was discovered by writer Steve Moser , who dredged up a 
graphic named Watch Focus Score from deep within the code of Apples Health 
app (via MacRumors ). The combination of the images name and its contents 
might imply that Apple is working on a new sleep score feature for watchOS . 

The picture depicts an Apple Watch with the number 84 in the center of its 
display. This number is surrounded by three bars that curve to form a circle. 
Interestingly, the bars are colored red, light blue and purple, and these 
tones correspond to the sleep stages shown in the Health app (there, red 
indicates time awake, light blue means REM sleep, and purple means deep 
sleep. The app also uses dark blue for core sleep, which could be what the 
graphic is showing). 

The number and colored bars might hint at an overall score that takes into 
account the different sleep stages and how much of each you got at night.

watchOS. More than just sleep stages? (Image credit: Future / Britta O'Boyle) 

But there are indications that other factors could be considered for this 
score. In Apples graphic, the Apple Watch is flanked on both sides by various 
icons, including a moon at stars, a zzz, a bed, and an alarm clock. Right 
now, Apple uses the bed icon for the sleep focus mode , while the alarm clock 
may signify when your alarm went off or when you got out of bed. 

Moser also spotted a thermometer icon , which could be a hint that Apple will 
take more than just sleep stages into account when calculating a sleep score. 
It might incorporate wrist temperature as an indicator of your health, for 
example, and there may be other as-yet-unknown metrics that are also included 
as part of the overall score. 

If this sleep score feature becomes a reality, Apple will be far from the 
first smartwatch maker to include it in their products: both Fitbit and 
Garmin have included sleep scores in their devices for years. 

But Apple fans wont mind that if they do indeed get this functionality in a 
future update  you never know, it might come to watchOS 26 later this year.
