Across Southeast Asia and Oceania (SEAO), sleep has become an increasingly critical yet often overlooked aspect of health and well-being, frequently sacrificed in the pursuit of modern-day demands. The Samsung SEAO Ecosystem Health Study conducted in December 2024 aimed to analyze general lifestyle habits and attitudes towards health, fitness, and overall wellness. The study revealed that while adults in the region rank health as their third-highest daily priority—behind finances and family—many still struggle to achieve the recommended seven to nine hours of rest each night. On average, individuals in SEAO sleep for only six hours and fifty-one minutes, missing out on vital benefits such as improved immunity, better health, and enhanced mental agility, which they themselves recognize as key reasons to get sufficient sleep.
To help people rest better and experience these benefits, Samsung offers practical solutions through its Galaxy devices, including the Galaxy Watch8 series and Galaxy Ring.
A consistent bedtime routine remains a major challenge for many across SEAO, with 28 percent citing difficulty in “switching off” before bed. While putting devices aside at night can be difficult, especially for those who depend on smartphones as alarms, the Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy Ring serve as comfortable sleep companions that allow users to silence alarms with a simple pinch of their fingers. The SmartThings app further enhances this experience by automating bedtime routines, such as dimming the lights and turning off the TV, to create a calming environment ideal for rest.
Beyond just setting the mood, Samsung’s Sleep Environment Reports provide detailed insights into sleep conditions, including temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide levels, and lighting, gathered through connected devices and sensors. When linked with other Galaxy devices, such as Samsung air conditioners, users can enjoy a personalized “Good Sleep” mode that automatically adjusts the room temperature to match different sleep stages.
The Galaxy Watch8 also offers Bedtime Guidance, which analyzes sleep patterns over three days to suggest optimal sleep schedules based on circadian rhythm and sleep pressure. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Ring uses advanced sleep AI algorithms to track detailed sleep metrics, including movement, heart rate, respiratory rate, and even snoring, helping users form better habits over time.
Another concern among SEAO consumers is maintaining energy throughout the day. Many experience fatigue despite getting what seems like adequate rest. The Galaxy Watch8 and Galaxy S25 Ultra address this through the Energy Score feature, which provides a snapshot of physical and mental readiness based on seven key sleep and activity metrics. With scores ranging from zero to one hundred, users can gauge whether to take it easy or power through the day with confidence.
For long-term wellness, Samsung’s Galaxy Watch8 goes beyond sleep tracking with innovative tools like the Antioxidant Index, which measures carotenoid levels in just five seconds. This unique feature helps users understand how their sleep patterns and lifestyle choices impact healthy aging. Additionally, the Galaxy Sleep Coaching Program functions like a personal trainer, tracking sleep progress, analyzing data, and providing insights for continuous improvement—such as incorporating meditation before bed.
The Galaxy Ring complements these features by tracking overall sleep patterns, stages, and nighttime body metrics, while also supporting the Sleep Coaching program. To ensure a perfect fit, first-time users can utilize the Galaxy Ring sizing kit, available for free upon purchase.
Whether you are a student, a working professional, or a parent, the need for restorative rest is both universal and deeply personal. With the help of Galaxy devices, improving your sleep habits can lead to better productivity, balanced energy, and enhanced well-being every day.
