Today (March 18) is World Sleep Day, do you usually pay attention to the quality of your sleep? Being able to have a good night’s sleep is a blessing, and waking up naturally on weekends is a kind of happiness. However, urban life is stressful, even though it’s easy to take a nap during the day, at night, it’s easy to feel sleepy but unable to fall asleep, or wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling back asleep.
Quality of sleep can affect physical health, as well as emotional well-being. Many people say not to use your phone before bed, but for modern individuals who are constantly attached to their phones, instead of forcing yourself to put it down, it’s better to make good use of this technology. With the introduction of iOS 15, let’s see how an iPhone can help you get a good night’s sleep.
iPhone “Sleep Focus Mode” and “Night Mode”
During the day, there are thousands of text messages and notifications on your phone, and it can be quite annoying if it keeps “dinging” at night. With the new “Focus Mode” introduced in iOS 15, you can customize notifications and calls according to your level of focus. The “Sleep Focus Mode” will even block all notifications and calls for you, indicating to others that you are busy. Only allowed contacts and notifications can reach you directly, otherwise, all notifications will be displayed when you turn off the “Sleep Focus Mode”. Additionally, at night, you can activate the “Night Mode” to switch the screen to a warmer tone, reducing the blue light that stimulates the eyes and minimizing its impact on sleep.
Hypnosis Master Max Richter on Apple Music
Music has the power to relax people, today we introduce the legendary composer Max Richter, who is dedicated to creating sleep-inducing music, and sleep neurologist David Eagleman, who collaborated on the hypnotic masterpiece “Sleep”. “Sleep” contains a total of 30 variations with a duration of 8.5 hours, which may seem exaggerated but is actually the ideal length for a good night’s sleep. Listening to this music at night, with a slow rhythm of 40 beats per minute, can easily relax your nerves and help you enter deep sleep.
In addition, there are also different sleep playlists specially curated for relaxation and sleep on Apple Music, such as “Sound of Sleep”, “Sleep Rhythms”, “Gentle Rain Sounds”, and they are all very popular, recommended for everyone to listen to.
Apple Watch sleep tracking
In addition to the iPhone, if you are also an Apple Watch user, you can download the new “Sleep” app to help you monitor your sleep status in real-time every night. The Apple Watch uses built-in accelerometers to detect subtle movements such as breathing, distinguishing between falling asleep and waking up; every morning, users can view sleep analysis charts in the “Health” app on the Apple Watch or iPhone, and understand their sleep status and other health data from the past week.
I didn’t expect that the iPhone also has these functions. Everyone might as well update to iOS 15, not only to experience new emojis, but also to try the functions introduced above. I hope you have a good night’s sleep tonight.
