How it works

From your wrist to plain words

01 · Night

While you sleep, your watch writes it down.

Apple Watch can record sleep, HRV — the small changes in time between heartbeats — wrist temperature and breathing rate while you sleep. Apple works out resting heart rate separately, from readings taken in the background while you are awake. What is available depends on your Watch model, settings and permissions. The records stay in Apple Health.

02 · Morning

Last night, beside what’s usual for you.

Perigee compares last night with your own recent weeks, not a population average. Each reading says whether there are enough nights for a clear comparison, whether the Watch caught only part of the night, or whether more nights are needed.

A few changes

Your wrist temperature was warmer than usual last night. HRV — the small changes in time between heartbeats — was lower, and you also logged broken sleep. A hot, restless night likely contributed to this combination. Keep today lighter and note whether it repeats tonight.
