Apple Watch sleep score looks set to replicate these two smart ring features

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2026-01-05 21:22:45

Earlier today we saw iOS 26 code suggesting that an Apple Watch sleep score feature is in development, with a percentage score indicating your readiness to tackle the day ahead. The feature also provides a more condensed graphical representation of your sleep stages than is currently available. What is shown and described looks like a very close match for two features provided by the Oura smart ring, so here’s a look at how those work … The Oura Ring readiness and sleep scores Each morning, w

Every year, my family kicks off summer—aka camping season—with a weekend in the high desert, where it’s a blisteringly hot 90 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and drops to the 40s at night. Every year, my despairing husband tries to accommodate his dog, wife, and children by filling up our entire truck with every single variety of sleeping material we own, from lightweight liners to camping quilts to my 0-degree mummy bag.

As you might imagine, that quirk is fine when I’m at home since I have plenty of noise machines at my disposal—an air conditioner, a smart speaker, and tons of earbuds—to fill the haunting silence that prevents me from sleep like unresolved vengeance prevents a ghost from passing on.

Brain Scans Reveal Why Waking Up Is Sometimes Such a Difficult Experience

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-01-10 21:00:12

Want to wake up feeling great? The secret might not be so simple as a multi-step nighttime routine, early bedtime, or a no-device rule. A new study suggests that how we fall asleep and how we wake up the next day may not be so similar as we once thought. Neuroscientists tracked 20 people’s brain activity as they woke up from sleep—sometimes naturally, sometimes by setting off an alarm—recording more than 1,000 awakenings in total.
