How to track deep sleep on apple watch?

I recently got an Apple Watch and I'm trying to improve my sleep quality. Does anyone know how to specifically track deep sleep on it? I can see overall sleep but not the different stages.

I used to panic seeing very less deep sleep on my watch every night. But then I realized sleep trackers are just estimates and as long as I feel refreshed, it's completely normal.

I just got an Apple Watch and am trying to learn how to use it. Do we need to download a separate app for deep sleep tracking, or does the built-in Health app show it automatically?

Just enable 'Sleep Focus' on your watch before sleeping. It automatically records your sleep stages, including deep sleep, which you can check in the iPhone Health app next morning.

These modern watches are fine, but for good deep sleep, try drinking a cup of warm milk before bed and avoiding screens. The natural ways of calming your mind work much better than any machine.

I used to obsess over my sleep scores so much that it gave me bedtime anxiety. If the tracker is making you anxious, please take a break from wearing it to sleep.

Tracking deep sleep is good, but if you have high blood pressure like me, lifestyle matters more. Ensure you get regular medical checkups and maintain a quiet, stress-free routine before sleep.
