Modern life is stressful, and sleep disorders are a civilized disease that almost everyone has. Technology products bring convenience in life and keep us connected to the world, but 24-hour uninterrupted push notifications are the biggest distraction when falling asleep.
On the eve of World Sleep Day 2022, I’ll take you to a refresher on focus mode and sleep tracking.
iPhone“Sleep Focus Mode” and “Night View”
Introduced in iOS 15, “Focus Mode” allows users to customize notifications and incoming calls according to their focus needs, while “Sleep Focus Mode” filters out notifications and calls, and sends a message to others that the user is now turned on. Only the important calls and notification pushes of the permitted ones can reach the user directly, and other pushes will be displayed when the “Sleep Focus Mode” is turned off. If reading or listening to music on your iPhone helps you fall asleep, you can customize the shortcut to the app in “Sleep Focus Mode”. In addition, by enabling the “Night View Mode”, the iPhone allows the iPhone to automatically convert the display color to a warmer tone at sunset according to the clock and geographic location, reducing blue light irritating the eyes and helping you fall asleep.

Apple Music Hypnotist Max Richter on
The essence of music is to make sounds, and it feels contradictory to quietness. However, the legendary composer Max Richter, whose career is to create sleep aid music, broke the established concept and created it with the cooperation of sleep neurology expert David Eagleman. Make “Sleep”. “Sleep”, which includes 30 variations, has a total duration of 8.5 hours. It seems exaggerated but it is just the standard for good sleep. At a slow rhythm of 40 beats per minute, interspersed with varied music textures, it is more themed than ordinary White Noise music. But it also effectively induces the audience to fall asleep.
Remastered in 2022 with spatial audio, this set of recordings not only makes each beautiful moment more moving, but also fully preserves the healing nature of the work. In addition to “Sleep,” don’t miss “From Sleep”—a one-hour highlight version of the most profound movement in the selection—perhaps the perfect match for your morning cup of tea.

In addition, Apple Music has a sleep-relief playlist specially prepared for stress relief, relaxation and falling asleep. Since the epidemic in 2019, the number of playbacks has been increasing. You can add Apple Music to a shortcut to relax before going to bed. Start playing the soothing playlist half an hour before falling asleep to help the body and mind enter a relaxed state of being ready to fall asleep.
Apple Music’s top soothing and sleeping playlists include:

Apple Watch sleep tracking
It is difficult for most people to accurately grasp sleep data. Apple Watch’s “Sleep” app can help users track their sleep status every night. Apple Watch uses the built-in accelerometer to detect subtle activities such as breathing, and comprehensively distinguish between falling asleep and waking up Status; every morning, users can view the sleep analysis chart on the “Health” app on Apple Watch or iPhone, and understand their sleep status and other health data for the past week.

with HomeKit Set up your own sleep scene
The iPhone has an intimate “night view”, and Apple users can also use Siri to help their home set an exclusive nighttime relaxation mode as long as they install lamps compatible with Adaptive lighting at home, and turn the lamps into warm colors after dark. Play sleep music when you go to bed, turn off the lights when you fall asleep, etc. In addition, users can also use Siri voice to start the sleep timer to turn off the music regularly and set the alarm time.
