Since the release of iOS 8, the Health app has included a section for this kind of sleep data. Analyzing your sleep patterns can help you get there, and your iPhone is the perfect tool. You might be able to nod off sooner, remain in deep sleep longer, and have a reasonable number of hours of sleep per night (7 to 8 hours, ideally). Just like sticking to a consistent exercise routine will keep you healthier and fit, practicing good sleep hygiene and being aware of your sleep habits can make you a better sleeper. So skip the newsfeed and social media accounts on your iPhone and strictly use it to help you drift into slumber. A relaxing nighttime ritual could help you fall asleep faster, which is part of good sleep hygiene. Going to bed and waking up at or around the same time daily (or for most days of the week) helps your body regulate the rest it requires. It is also important to stick to a consistent schedule. Not moving, and limiting other physical activity such as heavy breathing or snoring, is key to experiencing deeper, restorative sleep.

The more you move, the lower your quality of sleep. However, when you're tossing and turning or snoring uncontrollably, you're not going to say you had the best sleep ever or anything. In general, when you sleep like a log, you're having a good, restful night.
