Sleep Rating
Sleep Rating
A consolidated four ring graphic that shows your sleep duration, quality sleep, deep sleep, heart rate average and an easy to read sleep rating score in the middle. This gives an instant snapshot as to how you slept.
The Sleep Rating score is between 1 and 100. The higher the number, the better your overall sleep when comparing against your goals.
This rating score is also seen on the Clock tab, the Watch app summary and the History tab
Tip - to ensure you get the most accurate sleep rating score, make your goals are setup accurately in the Settings tab by clicking on 'Set Goals'.

Difference Between Apple Sleep Score & AutoSleep Sleep Rating
Difference Between Apple Sleep Score & AutoSleep Sleep Rating
Apple introduced a Sleep Score with iOS 26 that aims to give you a single-number summary of how well you slept. AutoSleep also has a Sleep Rating that consolidates your core sleep metrics into a single value. This is where the similarities end, as both use a different model and metrics to report on overall sleep.
The Apple Sleep Score is heavily dependent on the sleep duration. Looking at the Sleep Score weighting of the formula, if you sleep a good amount, go to bed at consistent times and donโt wake up much, youโll get a higher Sleep Score.
AutoSleep on the other hand goes deeper into understanding the true impact of your sleep and restoration levels, analysing your sleep duration, quality of sleep, deep sleep, and average heart rate. AutoSleep also allows configuration on the two different scores depending on which mode you use (Apple Sleep Stages or AutoSleep Sleep Analysis), using REM for example if tracking sleep stages. Both modes will also work in conjunction with sleep time and heart rate dip. In short, the AutoSleep rating is a much more advanced formula in reporting your overall sleep rating, showing the real impact in a single score.
While both can be used as indicators, the Apple Sleep Score is a very simple and standardised sleep score, aimed at a large audience to encourage good bedtime behaviours. This is how Apple works, keeping things simple and relatively easy. However, the risk here is that the Sleep Score is missing critical elements of your overall sleep state. For example, research shows that having 2 or more alcoholic drinks can impact your sleep quality by up to 40%, similar to other lifestyle factors like nutrition. All of these additional factors outside of duration are captured and shown in the AutoSleep Sleep Rating, the Apple Sleep Score will disregard these inputs, with elements like sleeping heart rate having no impact.
As we commonly explain to users, the value in scores and ratings across any health metric is in evaluating trends and variances in your personal data over time, rather than looking at a single night's data in isolation or comparing to others. Pick what feels works best for you, or use a combination of both with an understanding on how each work to get real insights.
