  • "Good night mode" and "sleep mode" in Apple Watch.

    Because it is a similar name, some people use it without knowing what functions are.

    In this article, I will explain the difference between such a confusing "good night mode" and "sleep mode" and how to use it well!

    What is the difference between good night mode and sleep mode?

    First, let's check the difference between the two modes.The operation when each mode is turned on is as follows.

    If you turn on the good night mode, you can limit calls and notifications on telephone calls.

    In other words, the sound does not sound or the screen does not turn on.

    When you turn on the sleep mode, the call and notification of the telephone are limited.Up to this point, it is the same as good night mode.

    In sleep mode, a sleep App starts and a record of sleep is started.

    In addition, the dial changes to a simple display only for the date and time, and it cannot be unlocked unless the digital crown is turned.

    You can do what you can do in a good night mode in sleep mode, so you may not think of a scene where you bother using a good night mode.

    If you use it properly, if you do not want to record your sleep, or if you want to be able to operate the dial as usual during sleep, you should use a good night mode.

    Alternatively, you can use it if you want to temporarily turn off the notification function temporarily, regardless of the name of a good night mode.

    Until Watchos7, it existed as separate modes, but Watchos8 has been consolidated in a newly added "concentrated mode" function.

    "Intensive mode" is a function that can limit notification functions and available apps.What you restrict can customize for each mode.

    4 settings that make sleep mode more convenient

    Next, I will introduce the settings that make sleep mode more convenient.

    All of these settings are performed from the "sleep" of the iPhone's healthcare app.

    If you set the time to go to bed or get up, you can automatically turn on the sleep mode when you go to bed.In addition, since the set time can be created multiple, for example, it is possible to set such as weekends and weekdays.It's convenient because you can use it as you want to sleep longer on weekends!

    You can set an alarm when you wake up.The Apple Watch alarm will inform you of the wake -up time in addition to the sound.This is a function unique to a smart watch, and personally, it feels better to wake up when it occurs than the sound.

    There are nine types of alarms.Not only the sound but also the contents of the touch are different for each pattern, so please try to find your favorite pattern.By the way, the author likes "sunny"!

    - early wake -up - dawn -Helios - Orbit -Bird squeal -water droplets -sunny -sunny tide -bright eyes

    watchOS 8では、睡眠時の分間あたりの呼吸回数を測定することにより、全体的な健康状態についてさらに詳しい情報をユーザーに提供します。

    From Watchos8, you can now record your sleeping respiratory rate.By using this feature, you can know more about sleep and the whole body health situation.

    The settings can be used by turning on the function of displaying the respiratory data from the iPhone's healthcare app.

    summary

    This is the explanation of the difference between Apple Watch's good night mode and sleep mode!

    "Good night mode" is convenient if you simply want to limit the incoming and notification function, not just during sleep.On the other hand, if you want to make effective use of various functions about sleep, "sleep mode" is the best.

    Please use it properly!
