Set up Sleep

Huge thanks to iFixit for sponsoring today's video! Check them out for all your parts and repair needs: mid 2012 13 inch unibody. You can make your Mac put itself in Sleep mode automatically after a fixed period of time. If your Mac doesn’t detect any keyboard or mouse activity within the length of time you have designated, your computer will put itself into Sleep mode automatically.

Getting enough sleep is important to your overall health. The Health app on iPhone can help you set a sleep goal, and track your progress over time in meeting that goal.

  1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Get Started under Set Up Sleep, then tap Next.
  3. Follow the onscreen prompts to establish:
    • Sleep Goals: Set the number of hours you'd like to spend asleep.
    • Bedtime and Wake Up times: Set when you'd like to go to bed and wake up.
    • Sleep Mode: At your bedtime, iPhone can turn on Do Not Disturb and dim the Lock screen to limit distractions and protect your sleep.
    • Wind Down Shortcuts: Add shortcuts that will help you take time to relax before bed, such as turning on a Home scene, listening to soothing playlists, or using your favorite meditation app.
    • Track Sleep with Apple Watch: Wear your watch to bed to track your sleep. This option is available during setup if you've paired your Apple Watch with your iPhone beforehand. If you pair your Apple Watch after setup, you can still turn on Track Sleep with Apple Watch later.

Sleep is not available with Family Setup.
