Apple added a new Sleep Score feature that gives you a single number to sum up how you slept.
It pulls data from your Apple Watch and turns it into an easy rating you can check first thing in the morning. This makes it much easier to understand your sleep without sorting through charts.

It only takes a minute to get your Apple Watch and iPhone working together to monitor your nightly sleep habits. Here's how to do it:
Once your Apple Watch sleep tracking is set up in the Health app, the Sleep Score appears in both your watch and iPhone. You can view your history and see how your habits change over time.
You can see your Sleep Score right on your Apple Watch as soon as you wake up. The score usually appears within about fifteen minutes and gives you a quick look at how you slept. Here are the steps:
This keeps everything fast and simple on your wrist while your iPhone shows the deeper breakdown.

Follow these steps to see your score each morning:
Your Sleep Score is a number out of 100. Apple uses three main factors to build your final rating. Sleep duration provides up to 50 points. Bedtime consistency offers up to 30 points. Interruptions and wake-ups make up the last 20 points. These elements combine to show how close you came to your nightly sleep goals.
When Apple calculates your score, it places you into one of five levels. These levels help you understand the quality of your rest. They may not always match how you feel in the morning, but they give you a steady way to track trends over time.
Excellent Your body and mind likely received the rest needed for the day. With consistency, this level may also support long-term health.
High You may not have slept perfectly, but you got the sleep you needed. Your night was likely restorative and may still benefit your health over time.
OK An OK score often means your body and mind did not get the full amount of rest they need.
Low A low score means you did not get enough time to rest and restore.
Very Low A very low score suggests your body did not get the sleep it needs. If you see this level often, it can affect your mental and physical health.
