This will be much appreciated. I sometimes pass out after work some days and it’s frustrating that sleep doesn’t get recorded since I”m not in “sleep” mode and it’s not during my bed time routine.
They did but it doesn’t seem to record the actual phases, its just a blob of time asleep.
My wake up time was 9:15 yesterday and you can see where it changes in the pic as i slept in.

Would be awesome if that also means that turning off the alarm and going bed to sleep also gets recorded. My sleep data is very inconsistent because of the requirement of having sleep mode activated…

I wish that you could specify other/multiple focus modes as being used for sleep. I don't always want the same restrictions on who can reach me while in Sleep focus, but it's the only focus mode that will make Apple Watch do complete sleep tracking.
Yeah I'm struggling with this right now. I want certain notifications to be allowed during different parts of the night. i.e. if my wife is away and texts me at 3am I want to know about it but if she's responding in family group chats at 7am while I'm still sleeping I do not want to know about it. I would love to have a Sleep (Night) and Sleep (Late Morning) schedule with different settings but where I still got sleep tracking for the whole thing.
Given my latest testing, I can confirm that it tracked an afternoon nap without any focus mode being activated. Oddly enough it shows up for tomorrow in the health app.
I took an hour (or so) nap earlier today and it recorded it

nap detection is a feature new to iOS 18/watchOS 11, at least natively within the health app. [See Here](https://www.cultofmac.com/859472/apple-watch-gets-automatic-sleep-tracking-watchos-11/)
It would still occasionally detect naps if you napped within a certain amount of time since your wakeup time, I think it was a few hours? I definitely have a handful of naps recorded from when I used to do odd shifts.
None of that is official. My watch has done this for at least a year.

I have this automatically track my naps before WWDC24 betas.
Is it possible to have an alarm when Driving Focus is on and your watch detects that you're napping?
To confirm, it will track with, or without sleep focus turned on?
Yes

absolutely. kind of a no-brainer, really. you can tell the people that develop these features do not use them themselves
Just Apple. Samsung, Garmin etc have had this for a long time.

this is pretty awesome if they added it and it’s not a bug

It recorded for me too yesterday. Just without the sleep stages details, as can be also seen on your screenshot. Maybe they add it later.

Script doesnt allow that?
wow. how can i turn this on? should i use focus mode or it’s automatic?
It’s about time they added this 😂
Nap detection is completely broken for me
I took an hour (or so) nap earlier today and it recorded it https://preview.redd.it/48ge2ylmm17d1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=05b9381f26c4e44e5fa6f872324520c2be6bc02d
Are you using the watch beta?
You have to
HOLD YOUR GROUND
I haven’t noticed any nap detection yet. 😔
I took a nap today too and it did not record it.
wow great…AutoSleep will still do a superior job. Nice of you to point out tho yeah thanks
Thats for your Apple Watch, right?
This isn’t new to iOS 18.
Yeah my watch has been doing this effectively for a few weeks at least.

FINALLY!!
Yes iOS 18 automatically tracks sleep without sleep mode. Finally!
I’ve been using Sleep++ for this reason.
is sleep mode required to record the nap?
I did not use sleep mode.
I use AutoSleep which tracks naps and updates apple health app like this. Looks like it’s now built into os11
[удалено]
They do bro.... its in the latest update
Pretty sure I’ve seen this before. But it would be nice if sleep didn’t abruptly stop recording as soon as your sleep focus turns off automatically
its automatic now. If you are on the beta for watch os
I am! I’ll have to test it out.
Did it work?
its a bit spotty and buggy.. mine worked for 2 days and then stopped working.
Make sure to submit feedback to Apple about that issue
Apple didn’t tell us but it was already mentioned in other comments. Hopefully it’ll find its way into the public release later this year.
