I think the reason why your watch isn't tracking is because your hand is on the table. A portion of the motion sensing is your arm swinging along with your walking.
My bedroom atmosphere is ocean noises (also quite a light sleeper), meditating before bed (I use a heated eye mask during which is pretty calming but take off as I'm going to sleep), reading before bed and only using red light in the bedroom (can get red light book lights or smart bulbs that change to red).
Jules! I just love your videos. They're a great reminder of balance and productivity (that glass of wine at the end of a super productive and healthy day is SO relatable) - Thanks for making great content!
The iPhone also has noise machine sounds like dark noise, nature sounds, etc. It’s in Settings>Control Center>Hearing. We use it every night, works great!
Hi Jules, I notice towards the end you mentioned your apple watch only counted 15 of the 70 minute walk you did on your treadmill. This isn't an error - the "exercise" minutes only track when you get your heart rate above a certain threshold. Because you walk often and are quite fit, it would take a higher level of activity for you to get your heart rate into the exercise threshold for it to count your minutes as exercise. It will still record your steps and active calories, but you may need to work harder by speeding up your walk for it to count as exercise minutes.
I have an elastic wristband and as soon as I get up I put it around my ankle. That way I get all of my steps counted for the day as well as the stairs I climb if I go out for the mail I get everything counted. I also have a standing desk and a treadmill and I walk in the mornings during stand ups, I walk in all meetings I’m not speaking cause and I just generally always have my iwatch on my ankle actually went to the store the other day with it on my ankle and the lady thought I had an ankle bracelet was on house arrest it was hilarious, but I don’t care. I wear it on my ankle all the time that way I know I’m getting everything counted my moves, stands in, my steps, my heart rate just everything. I close my rings almost everyday and I’ve set lofty goals.
Meditation teacher here, there are a few sleepy time meditation that can help. Yoga Nidra is a really good one to put the body to sleep with sound. (also on a personal note, sleeping through the night started for me when I had a snack or cup of milk to control my blood sugar at night. That’s why I kept waking up to pee!)
Love your content, so calm. We’ve just started using Pink Noise for sleeping and I think it’s made a difference in getting me back to sleep when i wake in the night (perimenopausal over here) Before using it my mind would engage and race and I would have to actively meditate at 4am to get back to sleep!
Always look forward to your videos Jules! We’re loving Last of Us, I vaguely remember my husband playing the game a couple years ago and he’s obsessed lol! Looking forward to hearing more on the TMJ journey, I’m on it too ❤
I think our husbands work for the same employer and I completely resonate with how you were feeling. It took forever to find it if he was cleared. But glad both were safe…Also for the walking tread you need to get a different band and have to put it around your leg so it can track it properly
I found Apple Health/Fitness tracking horrendously wrong most of the time. So I use Strava on my Apple Watch and the difference is noticeably different in its accuracy. An indoor walk on Apple Fitness is no where near the same as what Strava tracks… I used a treadmill at the gym to test it and Strava tracked exactly what the treadmill said I did. Apple? Waaaaaay off.
I'm 43 and have been sleeping with a fan at night since my teens. I literally can not sleep without it and if the power goes out at night I wake up pretty much immediately because of the lack of white noise...the silence is deafening as they say. That being said, any time I've tried a sound machine, I've found that the speakers distort the sound (it's too high pitched or something) and it's not as soothing to me. So if you can't find a setting on your sound machine that works for you, you might try a plain Jane ole table top fan. I'm currently using a Honeywell turbo force. I put it away in my closet during the day and just pull it out when I'm ready to start putting myself to sleep.
Love your videos! You are great corner of calm on UA-cam. So happy your husband didn't get laid off. Mine is in IT too and he avoided the lay off for this year at least. I recommend melatonin for sleep!
Surprised that you have a book on wabi sabi. Your spaces have always looked so perfect. I don't ever recall seeing anything damaged or flawed in any capacity. Also, smart to practice internet safety.
I and loving The Last Of Us too! I love all apocalyptic shows and watching society rebuild itself, like Lord of the Flies (but with zombies) 🧟♀. Also, as for the Milanese Loop Apple watch band, it's not great to run in if you sweat. It starts to itch and also it starts to slip a little and the sensors were probably not snug enough on your wrist (at that point). Additionally, the watch records walking by your arm swing, which is why they introduced the exercising in a wheelchair function. So because you are typing and walking it may not be recording your walk properly. Any of those could be the issue!
For the Apple Watch to track your treadmill walks, use an ankle strap (Amazon). If your wrist doesn’t move like on the standing desk, it won’t record properly.
I 100% realize that this is only a glimpse of your day, but it was disappointing to not hear you really express any concern about those who did get laid off. It definitely makes sense to be grateful that that’s not a situation that you’re navigating, but that could’ve been the perfect opportunity for you to plug ways to support those who are experiencing lay-offs
About the eye mask: I once read somewhere not to wear one that lays flat over your eyes because it restricts rapid eye movement and to make sure to get one that has little cups over the eye part. Don't know if it's true but yeah though I would share!
I can't speak to this personally, but I've seen people who walk on the treadmill while working put their apple watch on their ankle! It acts somewhat like a pedometer, I think, even when set to indoor walk so since you're not moving your arms, it may not recognize it :)
Yesss that’s what I’ve been doing but for some reason it stopped working! I think my band needs to be tighter and I have a metal one so it’s uncomfortable if too tight. Getting a better stretchy band :)
Also maybe your apple watch isn't tracking your working treadmill walks because your arms are on the computer and not swinging like they would be during a normal walk? That's happened to me before.

Aw hehe thank you!
I use a weighted blanked🙏🏻 it helps me to sleep deeper and to feel save
The iPhone also has noise machine sounds like dark noise, nature sounds, etc. It’s in Settings>Control Center>Hearing. We use it every night, works great!
I love your energy so much
Everyone that I’ve seen using the treadmill, have been putting their watch on their ankle with the longer strap 😊
Hi! I never use the walking activity, I choose Mixed Cardio instead! Works like a gem. Love your videos, over here from Canada! ❤
Love these types of vlogs! Productive but also calm and cozy! ☺

I love fireplace sound when im sooo stressed or sick. And you can also try some chill sounds.

Hi Jules! Could you share what type of pillow you use to sleep on your back? Thank you ❤
New TX follower here! We too operate pantless😂 and yessss to The Last of Us! Love post apocalyptic shiz!

Loved watching this vlog! Have a beautiful Friday 💛
Thank you! You too!
Thank you for this cosy video after a loooong & wild friday for me 😅😅
Try ear plugs. I am using them and I don't hear a thing and now I am sleeping so soundly! I LOVE the change!

The happiest pothos wow
I love your white button up - where is it from?

Maybe no coffine drinks after 2pm would be helpful for your sleep. I tried some experiment for myself as well. 2pm is a good line of the day.
What a relief that his job is safe for the foreseeable future.
Love your videos! You are great corner of calm on UA-cam. So happy your husband didn't get laid off. Mine is in IT too and he avoided the lay off for this year at least. I recommend melatonin for sleep!
What are the outfit deets? I love those jogger/leggings.
It's not the band! The last update to the watch screwed up Siri starting workouts. It's super annoying.
Surprised that you have a book on wabi sabi. Your spaces have always looked so perfect. I don't ever recall seeing anything damaged or flawed in any capacity. Also, smart to practice internet safety.
I love my eye mask! It’s the MZOO eye mask from Amazon😍 I have two😂
Niceee!
love your videos! they are so soothing to my soul.
Omg!! Okay wait... gonna turn on the TV! 🤍
Aw yay hellooo!
@@julesacree Hello!! Done watchin on TV 🤍
Jules, what brand of nut milk are you liking right now?
Jules! May I ask you were your iPhone case is from? Like the color so much 💚
Do you know the content creator Michel Janse? I could see you 2 getting on well 😊
I’ve been seeing people using the machine to help them fall asleep, not sure if that works 😂
Watching this reminded me to take my probiotics 😂
Absolutely LOVE your waffle weave flannel? cardigan? so cute!
We live our Hatch sound machine do us and the babies🤭 Also the Oura ring has been very helpful for understanding what’s impacting my sleep.
Can you share again where your treadmill is from?
It’s linked in my Amazon storefront !

I wear it on my ankle but it’s not working anymore bc my band is too lose (my speculation!)
@@julesacree I started doing "other" for workout type when using my walking pad and ankle strap and it worked to track workout time and steps!

Some people put their Apple Watch in their ankle for the best tracking.
I once saw someone on UA-cam put their Watch on their ankle when they were on treadmill desk. Maybe it’s because your arm is stationary.

I wish we could see Andrew’s offfice
What is a potato day?! Please explain 😂❤️
Watch my calendar video :)
you can watch her previous video :) but to sum it up potato days are usually behind the scenes such as editing videos/vlogs :)
Also maybe your apple watch isn't tracking your working treadmill walks because your arms are on the computer and not swinging like they would be during a normal walk? That's happened to me before.
New subbie 😊 would love to be yt supporters
Aw thanks for supporting!
