The watchOS update contains a new feature. Your Apple Watch with watchOS 11 automatically knows when you fall asleep and take a nap.
With watchOS 11, your Apple Watch knows when you’re taking a nap
The fact that your Apple Watch can register your sleep is not new. But you do need to set a sleep schedule for it. According to a message on Reddit With watchOS 11, the Apple Watch will soon be able to register itself whether you have fallen asleep (for a moment).
You still have to put the Apple Watch into sleep mode yourself. For example, if you lie down longer than normal, this will not be registered. Also, the current version of watchOS does not support naps.
This can come to an end with the new sleep function in watchOS 11. According to a user on Reddit, his Apple Watch saved his nap data all by itself.
In any case, we would like it if the Apple Watch with watchOS 11 could soon register your sleep (and nap) all by itself. This also means that the sleep data in the Health app becomes a lot more accurate. Registering short moments of sleep is now a drawback on Apple’s smartwatch.

Apple itself did not announce anything during WWDC 2024 about a new way that your Apple Watch can register your sleep. They only said something about the new Vitals app.
With this app you can measure important health values ​​while you sleep: your heart rate, breathing rate, pulse temperature, sleep duration and oxygen saturation. The new app then analyzes this data, giving you more insight into your health and important measurements.
You can also see at a glance whether there are any deviations. You can get a notification when two or more values ​​are out of the usual range.
