My score target for the week was 252 and, at the time of writing, I am already on 292 with one more night still to go. Hopefully I can increase the score even further.

Discovery Vitality Sleep Rewards Programme

One of the things I enjoy about the Discovery Vitality Sleep Rewards Programme is that it encourages greater awareness of sleep quality and sleep habits.

How My Garmin Smartwatch Tracks My Sleep

Every morning the Discovery app shows details from the previous night, including:

• time asleep,
• sleep duration,
• whether the sleep quality was rated “Good” or “Needs Improvement”,
• and the overall Vitality Sleep Score.

Discovery App vs Discovery Health and Discovery Bank Apps

I currently have 3 Discovery apps installed on my mobile phone:

• Discovery Bank
• Discovery Health
• Discovery

Of the three, I personally find the Discovery app the most user-friendly for the Vitality Sleep Rewards Programme.

My Garmin smartwatch connects to the Garmin Connect app on my phone, which then syncs automatically with Discovery Vitality.

When going to bed I simply wear my Garmin watch. I do not need to start anything manually. The watch automatically records my sleep once I fall asleep.

Very useful indeed.

Rewards Available on Discovery Vitality Sleep Rewards

I would recommend that anyone on Discovery Medical Aid consider joining the Discovery Vitality Sleep Rewards Programme. The programme is free and also offers various reward options for participants who reach their sleep goals.

I think I may choose a cappuccino reward at Mugg & Bean Bedford Centre, which serves one of my favourite cappuccinos in Bedfordview ☕😋
