Bedtime

1

Charge your Apple Watch above 30%

Top it up before dinner so it has enough juice for a full night of recording.

Apple Watch
2

Wear the Watch snug

A comfortable, snug fit keeps sensors in contact — that’s what records your HR, HRV, SpO2, respiratory rate, and sleep stages.

Enable Sleep Focus on the Watch

Silences notifications and signals to iOS that you’re turning in. Somnus uses this signal too.

Phone on the nightstand, charging

Screen down, charger plugged in. No need to launch the app — background sync handles the rest.

Start a Sleep Study (optional)

For deeper insights, tap Start Sleep Study in the app and place your phone on the nightstand mic‑side up. Your iPhone’s built‑in microphone records acoustic breathing patterns, detects snoring events, and tracks body position via accelerometer overnight.

Close your eyes

Wake up naturally

However you like — sunlight, alarm, or Shawn gently nibbling your toes. Your Watch already captured the data.

Open Somnus Sleep™

The app pulls your night from Apple HealthKit — it’s already synced and scored by the time you’ve poured coffee.

A single 0–100 score blending recovery, breathing, and sleep architecture into one clear signal for the day.

Review your full sleep profile

See biometrics from your Apple Watch (HR, HRV, SpO2, respiratory rate, sleep stages) and acoustic data from your iPhone mic (snoring burden, breathing events, body position). The Somnus Index™ fuses all available signals into one score.

Shawn’s Pro Tip

Your Apple Watch records biometrics to HealthKit automatically — no app needed overnight. For acoustic sleep analysis (snoring, breathing events), activate HST Mode in the app before bed. Both data streams feed your Somnus Index™ score.
