  2. Tap Edit or the + button in the top corner.

  3. Search for Rest, choose the widget size and tap Add Widget.

To remove it: touch and hold the widget, then tap Remove Widget.

Live Activities

Live Activities are cards on your Lock Screen that show how long you have left to log your sleep, with a Log your sleep button that opens your Sleep Log directly. They require iOS 16.1 or later.
