Tuning Apple Watch sleep-score alerts for clearer mornings

Apple’s watchOS 26 sleep score rates sleep quality using duration, bedtime consistency, and interruptions.

It also explains how to enable these granular alerts on iPhone (Watch app > Sleep Score Notifications) or directly on the Apple Watch, and notes the score’s basic calculation and device requirements.
