Anyone who owns an Apple Watch will tell you what a game-changer it is.

For one guy, it literally saved his life.

In general, studies have shown that owning an Apple Watch can have massive health benefits, and it has a lot to do with the features available that allow you to track your fitness goals and heart rate.

Now the company is upping their game by focusing on another key element of personal wellbeing – sleep.

You remember sleep, right? It’s that thing that you did before life, work, and the crippling anxiety of day to day living reared its head.

Take it away, BGR:

NapBot advertises itself as a machine learning-powered sleep tracker app for Apple Watch and iPhone that packs a ton of features into the app, including giving users a detailed sleep history, presenting your sleeping heart rate and sleep trends, and revealing how environmental sound exposure affects sleep quality. NapBot also presents detailed sleep phases analysis by calculating deep and light phases, among other features.

Some of the new features you can expect to find on the new version of the app include:

• New awake minutes trend for Pro users
• Daily notifications for tracked sleep
• Today widget
• Support for all types of complications
• Redesigned Siri Watchface card
• Background tracking for the Watch app
• Various bug fixes
• Notifications when sleep is detected

The best thing about the app is the key sleep-tracking function. It uses machine learning to optimise user experience. The more you use it, the smarter it gets, and the more it can tell you about your sleep patterns and how to improve them.

Here’s an example of what it would look like on your Apple Watch:

If you don’t have an Apple Watch yet, here are eight more reasons you should seriously consider getting one.

And, if you have some old Apple devices lying around Digicape, South Africa’s largest independent Apple retailer, will accept up to five of your old devices as a trade-in against the purchase of any new product.

So bring in your old iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, or Apple TVs, and you could save thousands of bucks.

You can order online, or stop in at one of their stores to get the full customer experience from a trained professional.

Live long and prosper, and get in plenty of shut-eye along the way.
