Calculate Asleep time in HealthKit using Swift

Question

I have the following code that gets the sum of sleep hours. However, it is summing inbed and asleep together. What I am trying to get is a sum for just the asleep time.

Answer 1

Better late than never: In your calculateSleepHours function, you should check sample.value against the HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysis constants (inBed, asleep, awake). That will tell you the interval's type. It will also teach you how Apple measures and returns this data. Keep an eye on the intervals, because when you hit the end of the planned sleep time on the watch, it will give you a summary of inBed time.

let value1 = (sample.value == HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysis.inBed.rawValue) ? "InBed" : "Asleep"
                    let value2 = (sample.value == HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysis.asleep.rawValue) ? "Asleep" : "Awake"
                    let value3 = (sample.value == HKCategoryValueSleepAnalysis.awake.rawValue) ? "Awake" : "Asleep"

The 3 values contain the type of constant that each interval is measuring. It is almost always asleep, but may differ depending on the Watch OS versions.

You can print the values and see, on a per interval basis, exactly what is being measured. Be sure to print the sample.startDate and sample.endDate too. That will teach you all you need to know to get actual sleep time between two Dates.
