To use this feature, you’ll need the Samsung Health Monitor app on your Samsung phone. Here’s how you can enable it:

- If you don’t see the app on your phone, start it from your watch first.

Make sure to wear your Galaxy Watch while you sleep. In the morning, open the Samsung Health Monitor app again to view your results in the Sleep Apnea tab. You can also tap “View history” to see your recorded sleep data.
This new feature gives users important insights into their sleep health. By offering an easy way to detect signs of sleep apnea, it can help users take steps toward better health.

Quality sleep is important for your health, but several people struggle to get enough. Lack of sleep can lead to serious health problems like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. To help improve sleep, Samsung has created the Galaxy Ring. It is a smart ring with AI technology that tracks your sleep and offers personalized tips to help you rest better.
Here you can check three advantages of the Samsung Galaxy Ring to improve your sleep.
Comfortable to Wear All Night
Samsung Galaxy Ring is lightweight and comfortable so you can wear it all night without issues. It comes in 9 different sizes, and a free sizing kit is included to help you find the best fit.
The ring can be worn on any finger, but the index finger is recommended for the best results. With a battery life of up to 7 days, you don’t have to worry about charging it every night.
Track Sleep Quality
Galaxy Ring features an Advanced Sleep Tracking feature, which helps to track different stages of sleep, including light, deep, and REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. Each stage plays a different role in your body’s recovery. Deep sleep helps your body heal, while REM sleep is important for mental recovery.
By tracking how much time you spend in each stage, the Galaxy Ring helps you understand if you’re getting the quality sleep you need. It also checks your heart rate and heart rate variability, which can help spot sleep problems.
