The better the night, the tidier the bed – and the more refreshed your little companion looks. The Yawn Score is calculated directly on your device using three easy-to-understand components: • Sleep duration • Sleep efficiency • Share of restorative sleep stages Yawn Sleep works on iPhone and Apple Watch. With your explicit permission, it reads sleep stages from Apple Health. Private by design: • No user account • No advertising • No analytics or tracking SDKs • No upload of your health data • Processing happens entirely on your devices The Yawn Score is Yawn Sleep’s independent estimate and is not a medical measurement. The app is not intended for diagnosis, treatment, or medical decisions.
