Bedtime

1

Charge your Apple Watch above 30%

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

Wear the Watch snug

A comfortable, snug fit keeps the sensors in contact with your skin. It captures key biometric signals — including heart and respiratory data — while you sleep.

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.

Check your Somnus Index™

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

Explore your sleep insights

Go beyond what ordinary wearables show you. While others stop at basic metrics, Somnus combines wearable biometrics with proprietary acoustic intelligence to reveal what’s really happening when you sleep — breathing irregularities, overnight heart rate trends, recovery signals, and patterns most trackers miss. All fused by our proprietary scoring engine into one complete picture.

Meet Shawn — your AI sleep companion

Shawn reads your overnight data and delivers personalized insights each morning — not generic tips, but observations tailored to YOUR sleep patterns. If Shawn notices trends over time that suggest your sleep wellness could benefit from a professional conversation, he’ll gently nudge you to connect with a qualified sleep specialist through the Somnus Provider Directory™ — one tap and you’re on your way.

Somnus App

Shawn’s Pro Tip

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