Clocks going back gives Americans just 11 minutes more sleep, Withings data shows

Americans gain only 11 minutes of sleep when the clocks fall back, according to Withings. The company analysed 237,480 nights of US sleep data from 2023 to 2025. A week later, sleep is about four minutes shorter than usual, with a lower sleep score. Quality returns to its pre-change level within the following two weeks. Withings has also launched its Sleep Care Service in the Withings app, available in all 50 US states. Through partners Dreem Health and Dune Health, users get licensed sleep specialists, at-home testing, and treatment in weeks rather than months. Most insurance plans cover it. Users start with a three-minute assessment, then book an appointment.

Withings Sleep Care Service tackles post-time change fatigue.

Withings Sleep Care Service tackles post-time change fatigue. Counting sheep: more minutes or just more trouble? As Americans prepare for the clocks to fall back, many dream of an extra hour of sleep. But according to Withings, the reality is far less restful. Despite the clock change promising more shut-eye, folks average just 11 minutes extra sleep, only to watch that dissipate in the days following. Somehow, Investors Hangout, LLC lose more than Investors Hangout, LLC gain - not a win for those of Investors Hangout, LLC fighting fatigue. Minimal gains, maximum fatigue. Withings crunched data from nearly a quarter-million nights and found that instead of a refreshing hour, Americans get a paltry 11 minutes. Better yet, the next week they're rising 25 minutes earlier, their nights tied down by disturbed slumber. Why bother switching clocks at all if the payoff's so lacking? The time change appears as ineffective as damp matches. "We can't expect the body to automatically use the extra hour for sleep." - Dr. Pierre Escourrou More than just an hour: look to the specialists. The days get shorter, the nights longer, but if your sleep takes a nosedive, it could hint at underlying issues. Traditionally, getting to the bottom of sleep troubles meant navigating labyrinthine healthcare hoops. That's where Withings' Sleep Care Service comes in - cutting out the red tape with virtual sleep specialists accessible in all 50 states. Now that's something to raise an eyebrow at! A digital fix for modern sleep dilemmas. Withings teams up with Dreem Health and Dune Health to offer at-home testing and tailored treatment plans. Say goodbye to endless waitlists and hello to swift insights, remotely served. Users just complete a brief assessment in the app and voila - the road to sweet dreams opens up without stepping foot outside. * Virtual Sleep Specialist: Guides you through health history and symptoms. * At-home Sleep Testing: Provides valuable data without clinic visits. * Personalized Treatment: From CPAP devices to insomnia therapies. Consider this: the Sleep Care Service is a lifeline for those not blossoming under the charm of additional darkness. Living in a sleep-deprived society. As Americans grapple with maintaining regular routines in the face of earlier sunsets, understanding sleep's pattern over time beats focusing on one wonky night. According to Dr. Pierre Escourrou, tracking repeated yawning episodes provides clues on whether to dial up the professionals. Shining a light on darker days. In the depth of these shadowy months, keeping steady hours and soaking up daylight could make all the difference. Reminder that the sun sets an hour earlier only compounds its struggle - not officially boosting restfulness. * Keep Regular Hours: Stick to a set wake-up and bedtime. * Seek Daylight: Get some morning sunshine to reset your internal clock. Beyond America's grumbles, other nations also benefit minimally from the clock reset, raising the question - is the time shift worth the hassle? Withings: the tech savvy guardian of sleep. What's a tired nation without a technological lifeline? Withings, trailblazing since their first connected scale in 2009, champions health monitoring with cutting-edge devices. They've got the whole kit - measuring everything from sleep cycles to heart rhythms. Coupling technology with virtual care could be the giant leap Investors Hangout, LLC need in the realm of rest. Now, if only that extra hour delivered more than just a sour aftertaste.

Withings and Function connect daily health measurements with advanced lab testing.

Withings and Function connect daily health measurements with advanced lab testing. Oct 22, 2026, 09:00 ET Two leaders in connected health integrate Withings' daily measurements with Function's 160+ lab tests and Medical Intelligence for a deeper understanding of your health. BOSTON, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Withings and Function today announced a first-of-its-kind integration between Withings' medical-grade connected devices and Function's health platform to connect daily body measurements with deep lab data, turning isolated data points into a single, comprehensive view of your health. Function members can sync daily readings from Withings devices directly into the Function app - creating a continuous thread between periodic lab results and body composition, blood pressure, and more. At the same time, Function's 160+ lab test results, which measure biomarkers across heart, hormones, thyroid, nutrients, and more, sync directly into the Withings app, giving members clinical context alongside their existing activity, sleep, and cardiovascular data. The millions of Americans managing weight, metabolic health, or cardiovascular risk, including a fast-growing segment tracking changes related to medications like GLP-1s, need to understand what is happening inside their bodies in real time, not after. This integration gives them a way to do that. Consider a woman in her mid-forties who notices her sleep is more disrupted and her body composition is shifting, even though her routine hasn't changed. On their own, those signals are hard to read: are they hormonal, metabolic, or worth a conversation with her doctor? With her Withings trends and Function lab results such as LDL cholesterol, HbA1c, ferritin and TSH in one view, she can bring real numbers to her doctor, not just symptoms. "Withings has always believed that health is not a moment; it is a story told over time", Eric Carreel, Chairman and Co-founder, Withings. "Function shares that conviction, and together we're helping people see how their daily habits, measurements, and biology connect over time, turning more data into a deeper understanding of their health." "Your health information should live in one place," said Jonathan Swerdlin, Co-Founder and CEO of Function. "Our partnership with Withings is a major step toward that unified vision, connecting everyday biometrics with Function's longitudinal results and Medical Intelligence so members can see how the signals they track every day influence what is happening with their biology." To make the integration immediately accessible, the partnership launches with dedicated offers for both communities: * For Withings users: A $30 credit on a Function subscription, applied automatically through a dedicated Function section within the Withings app. * For Function members: 10% off Withings products available directly through the Function app. The integration and member offers are available now in the U.S. To learn more about the partnership and how to get started, visit withings.com/en-us/pages/withings-function About Withings Withings empowers people to live longer, healthier lives. Founded in 2008, Withings invented the first smart scale just one year later and has since pioneered connected health devices that bring clinical-grade measurement into everyday life, at home and without extra effort. For its over 15 million users worldwide, Withings turns daily routines into a continuous view of their health, helping them see how their body changes over time, catch early signals before they become urgent, and share what they learn with their doctors. Withings works with leading academic and clinical research institutions to keep every measurement grounded in science. To learn more, visit withings.com. Withings. With you. For life. About Function Function is on a mission to enable everyone to live 100 healthy years. A groundbreaker in its category, Function has changed the game by making lab testing, MRI and CT, and longitudinal health data accessible, understandable, and actionable - serving millions. Function's Medical Intelligence Lab(TM)(MI Lab(TM) is leveraging a dedicated clinical team to develop a continuous learning system that helps its members see, understand, and act on their biology over time. Members receive access to 160+ lab tests - including biannual testing - for just $365/year, equivalent to $1 per day, covering the heart, hormones, thyroid, liver, kidneys, heavy metal exposures, nutrient levels, inflammation, potential cancer signals, and more. Each member's results are integrated into an intelligent, personalized interface designed to support powerfully informed decision-making. Function members can also access (for an additional cost) MRI and CT that are designed to see signals of cancer and hundreds of other conditions. Through its acquisition of SuppCo, Function is also bringing greater trust and clarity to supplements, helping members better understand and manage what they put in their bodies. Function believes everyone should have the power to own their health. SOURCE Function Health

Withings wants you to pay $100 a year to sync a scale with Apple Health.

Withings wants you to pay $100 a year to sync a scale with Apple Health. Withings has introduced an Apple Health Sync paywall, requiring all new users to pay $99.99 each year to see their weight within Apple's default Health app. Ad ends in 23 Withings is a French company known for its smart scales, some of which analyze more than 60 biomarkers, while also offering built-in electrodes and a rechargeable battery. The company also touted its dedicated Withings app, as well as its products' integration with Apple Health. As it turns out, however, that Apple Health integration will come at a great cost to new users. As noted by a user of the Withings forum, accounts created after October 13, 2026, are required to have a $99 Withings+ subscription to sync their scale data with Apple Health. The feature will remain free for existing Withings users. "Taking a fundamental feature that has always been free and locking it behind a paywall for new users is an obvious cash grab," says the user. They also claim that writing data to Apple Health using HealthKit on an iPhone doesn't require server-side processing, AI agents, or any other potential costs for Withings. According to the Withings forum user, the company justified this seemingly arbitrarily imposed paywall with "privacy measures" and an "AI connector." In the comments, Withings itself confirmed the decision to charge for Apple Health syncing via the Withings+ subscription. In the rather vague statement, Withings said that its "mission hasn't changed" and that Withings+ "funds the services" around user data. The company did not specify exactly what services the subscription actually funds. In an attempt to appease upset users, Withings also noted that some basic features would remain free. It explained that every user can "export their full history as CSV or PDF at any time, keep importing data from other apps, and share data with their doctor through HealthLink and PDF reports." Withings users, meanwhile, remain largely unconvinced and unsatisfied, calling the decision "absolutely terrible" and "awful," among other things. This sentiment is understandable, given that a free feature has found itself behind a seemingly arbitrary paywall. Worse yet, while a product like the $599.95 Withings BodyScan 2 requires a subscription to sync your data with Apple Health, other scales do it for free. For instance, the iHealth Nexus Pro smart scale, priced at a whole $30, syncs data with its iHealth app and with Apple Health at no additional cost. The iHealth Nexus Pro is simply an illustrative example, and there are likely many more scales with free Apple Health syncing available on online marketplaces. For something as basic as a scale, there's little reason to opt for a yearly subscription, unless specific medical or dietary needs are part of the equation.
