Q: Sleep monitor?

Does it come with the polysomnograph or do I have to get an app for that?

    Since really polysomnography requires EEG, eye movements. cardiac rhythms (not just pulse) as well as respiration airflow and respiratory effort monitoring, it is highly doubtful that anyone will be making an app capable of doing a thorough sleep analysis for ANY wearable device.

     

    With the sensors available on the Apple Watch, you might get a pretty good 'sleep quality' app that tracks night time movements and pulse rate changes, but forget any true sleep apnea analysis.

    Currently there is no sleep monitoring available on the watch.
