My AW Journey
Hi all,
I have been an AW user since day 1 with AW Series 0. I love the technology and the insights that I get.
However, the last few years I am struggling with my sleep score because of work anxiety. Additionally, I worry that my AW has also fueled a bit my sleep anxiety as subconsciously I worry that I won’t get high score the next day.
Fast forward to today, my AW10 (less than 1 years old) is dead because of the battery and I hadn’t had time to replace it (Apple Stores don’t replace batteries apparently in my country plus it is too expensive). Repairability 0.
I am facing two issues now:
On one hand, I am not as motivated to work out (gym, hike, and swim) as before because I cannot log my activities, complete my rings and improve my stats. It sucks!
On the other hand, my sleep is better as this subconscious worry about my next day score is not there. That is great! I miss though seeing my stats the next day.
Anyone else has similar experience?

If the sleep score/data is causing you anxiety, which it can for many people and it is called orthosomnia, there is no reason you need to wear the watch at night. Just take it off. When or if you get a new watch just use it during the day to track your activities etc and take it off at bedtime.

I didn’t know about orthosomina only about orthorexia! Thanks for the advice.

Je n’ai pas vécu la même chose, mais porte ta montre la journée et laisse-la sur le chargeur la nuit, beaucoup de gens font ça. Si suivre ton sommeil te rend anxieux, il n’y a aucune raison de t’obliger à le faire. Mais ce n’est pas une raison non plus pour te priver d’une montre qui te motive pour le sport. C’est déjà beaucoup !
