Overnight, Rested Well tracks movement and sound to show when you fell asleep, when you woke up, and how long it took you to drop off. Wear an Apple Watch and you'll see your sleep stages too. Every score is broken down on screen, so you always know where a number came from. FIX YOUR SLEEP Every morning you get one specific change to try tonight, based on what happened last night. Over time, Fixing Sleep spots patterns across your nights and tells you how many nights each finding is based on. RECLAIM MISSED SLEEP Sleep debt, bedtime regularity, and weekday-versus-weekend comparisons show where your hours are going, so you can win them back.

Recordings stay on your phone and are deleted after a week. • Bedroom noise. See how loud your room really was and which minutes stood out. DRIFT OFF 17 sleep sounds that play offline.
