Rumours that Apple is working on a sleep tracking feature for Apple Watch have been doing rounds for a while w. feature was in fact said to debut with Apple Watch Series 5 launched recently, but it didn’t. That's t to say that Apple isn’t working on feature anymore. A reference to Apple’s possibly in development Sleep app has been spotted doing rounds in App Store with a description that res, “set your Bedtime and wake up in Sleep app.” reference comes courtesy a screenshot spotted in listing of Apple’s pre-installed Alarms app for Apple Watch. report tes that since re’s Sleep app or even a reference to it in Alarms app on watchOS 6.0.1 or watchOS 6.1 beta, chances are it could have been leaked accidentally by Apple. 

Apple’s sleep tracking feature is internally codenamed Burrito, according to previous reports. Apple will reportedly call it “Time in Bed tracking” and feature will be accessible via its own dedicated companion Sleep app – refore a reference to it spotted in wild raises hopes that feature may be coming soon. While asleep, feature will allow Apple Watch’s wide array of sensors to tack user’s sleep quality as a factor of ir “movement, heart rate, and ises.” Apple Watch will automatically enable Do t Disturb in bedtime mode.

Apple is also simultaneously working on a feature that would remind users to charge ir Apple Watch should it be low on juice before entering bedtime mode. Apple Watch will also automatically turn off alarm should user wake up and start ir day in vance. 

sleep tracking feature will reportedly t require any new hardware – which could mean feature has a high probability of working on existing Apple Watch devices. This means, feature could just be rolled out via a software update in future. That said, re was speculations that Apple may launch feature alongside Apple Watch Series 5 – making it one of its helining features. Since that did t happen, Apple maybe working to get it right before a commercial rollout.
