Watch keeps me up at night
I’m used to using a Fitbit Charge 3, which allows me to wear it at night, track my sleep, and manages to at least not vibrate when I sleep. I don’t really mind it lighting up. But my Apple Watch wants me to stand, do breathing exercises, and who knows what else in the middle of the night. I just got it a few days ago, so there’s a lot I still don’t know about it.
Anyway, it seems I have three options:
- Leave reminders to stand, etc. on and get awakened in the middle of the night when I toss and turn. I don’t want to do this because I like to sleep.
- Turn reminders off (or use do not disturb, etc.) and hope to remember to turn them back on in the morning, back off every night, repeat ad nauseum. I don’t want to do this because I’ll forget, and the reminders are a major reason I wanted some sort of fitness tracker in the first place.
- Take my watch off at night so it won’t remind me because it knows I’m sleeping. I don’t want to do this because then it won’t track my sleep patterns, heart rate, etc. Again, this is one of the major reasons I wanted a fitness tracker in the first place.
Surely there is a way to accomplish what I want. If it doesn’t recognize I’m sleeping, can I create a schedule for when to NOT give me reminders? I don’t want to use Do Not Disturb because if someone calls in the middle of the night, it’s probably pretty important.
Thanks in advance for the help!
