Do you know that an adult need at least 7 hours of sleep each night? Our sleep quality is just as important as the number of hours of sleep we get. It can affect our brain performance, mood and health. Sleep is an essential aspect of our daily lives, providing numerous benefits for both our physical and mental well-being. In recent years, research has shed light on the significant impact of sleep on various aspects of our health.

Emotional Regulation

Good sleep quality allows our brain to regulate emotions effectively. Lack of sleep can lead to heightened irritability, increased stress levels, and difficulty managing emotions, potentially contributing to mood disorders such as anxiety and depression.

Cognitive Function

Sleep deprivation negatively impacts cognitive functions like decision-making, problem-solving, and concentration. These cognitive deficits can further contribute to mood disturbances and affect our ability to cope with daily stressors.

Blood Pressure Regulation

Sleep helps regulate blood pressure levels, and chronic sleep deprivation can lead to hypertension (high blood pressure). Elevated blood pressure is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke.

Inflammation and Heart Disease

Lack of sleep can trigger inflammation in the body, contributing to the development of heart disease. Inflammation is associated with atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) and increased risk of heart attacks.

Learn more about your sleep pattern with Samsung Health using the Galaxy Watch5.

So how does the Galaxy Watch5 track your sleep pattern? With a motion sensor, the smartwatch detects when you’ve stopped moving around in bed. When you go to sleep, your body and brain go through various stages – awake, REM (rapid eye movements), light sleep, and deep sleep.

You can get the results of last night’s sleep and see the breakdown of these stages, with explanations of what happens during each stage in the Samsung Health app. After a week, the app will assign you one of eight animal symbols that represents the type of sleeper you are! Your sleep score is generated to give you a simple way to get a sense of how well you’ve slept. The higher your score, the better your sleep quality.

It’s crucial to have all this actionable data at your fingertips (or rather your wrist!), not only to learn about yourself, but importantly, to know how you can change your bedtime habits to have a great night’s rest.

Do you know that hypertension comes with the risk of other health problems? Hypertension, also called high blood pressure, can increase the risks of heart attack, heart and lung diseases, stroke and so on.

If you have high blood pressure, you will get a high chance of getting the diseases labelled below:

That’s why it’s important to regularly measure your blood pressure and consult a medical professional for your health report. To complement that, you can also measure your BP rate anytime, anywhere with personal health devices, like the Galaxy Watch5. Getting this data is the first step to knowing your health situation and what you need to do to improve it.

So, take the first step today to make positive lifestyle changes with the help of the Galaxy Watch5 Series. The smartwatch is equipped with a powerful BP and ECG sensor that can check and store your blood pressure data with Samsung Health Monitor. It requires calibration with the Cuff-type blood pressure monitor, to enable your Galaxy Watch to measure blood pressure and provide the results and history charts on your smartphone.

Here’s how to use the Samsung Health Monitor with your Galaxy Watch5:

Other than checking your blood pressure, you also can take an electrocardiogram (ECG) with your Galaxy Watch5. The ECG tracking feature helps you measure the electrical activity of the heart. ECG is currently the best way to detect your irregular rhythms and the information is recorded on the graph. It will also help to check whether atrial fibrillation or sinus rhythm is present. If atrial fibrillation is present, the smartwatch will indicate an irregular rhythm reading of 50-120 BPM. If sinus rhythm is present, the smartwatch will indicate a regular rhythm reading of 50-100 BPM. Best to consult the doctor if you receive Atrial Fibrillation as the result, or if you are not feeling well.

Here’s how to measure your electrocardiogram (ECG) with Samsung Health Monitor app:

There’s a reason we sleep for approximately a third of our lives – sleep enables our bodies and minds to recover, and a lack of it reduces our ability to perform well and think clearly. Yet for many, achieving good sleep is a challenge that has only gotten worse over the past few years. That’s why Samsung is bringing sleep to the forefront by recognizing that quality sleep is foundational to our holistic health, and drawing attention to the importance of healthy sleeping habits worldwide.

Samsung wants to help people optimize their nights like they do their days through innovative technologies like Galaxy Watch5 series. As sleep monitoring emerges as a health trend, already approximately 50% of Galaxy Watch users track their sleep patterns at least once a week, with 40% of them doing so more than three times a week[1]. This helps build good habits, since once you better understand your sleep patterns, it becomes easier to improve and maintain them, leading to a healthier night’s sleep.

To celebrate World Sleep Day on 17 March, as well as Sleep Awareness Week® by the National Sleep Foundation, Samsung is sharing useful tips for achieving a good night’s sleep[2].

Understand Your Sleep Pattern to Build Better Habits

As everyone’s sleep pattern is different, it’s important to learn what’s unique about yours, and Samsung has made tracking and understanding that easy. Take Galaxy Watch’s BioActive Sensor. It monitors your unique sleeping patterns – whether you are awake, when you achieve deep sleep, and your blood oxygen level, for example – and presents the results to you the next morning in the Samsung Health app in a user-friendly, easy-to-understand way.

But tracking isn’t enough by itself – establishing good habits is equally important, and Samsung makes it easy with Sleep Coaching Programme. It uses a personally tailored month-long program that tracks your sleep pattern over seven days, and then assigns one of eight sleep symbol animals to represent it. Sleep Coaching then sets you on a path to set healthy habits and routines to help you achieve a good night’s sleep more consistently. It keeps track of your daily activities and then gives tips and guidance to better manage them, from exercise and nutrition to mindfulness and health monitoring.

Create a Sleep-friendly Environment

Even our sleep environment matters, and seemingly small things like screen light or room temperature can impact our sleep. Reduce distractions from your mobile devices by automatically syncing Sleep Mode between your Galaxy smartphone and Watch to mute notifications and change the phone background to grayscale. It also turns off Always On Display and ensures your Galaxy Watch will not activate when you touch the display or move your wrist.

And when it comes to connected home devices, SmartThings lets you control a wide range of smart home products manufactured by both Samsung and partners. Galaxy Watch can also track when you fall asleep each night and automatically close bedroom blinds or turn off lights and the air conditioner.

With a better understanding of your sleep patterns, you can set positive habits to achieve better sleep and make a positive impact on your overall wellness. Samsung is committed to continue enhancing our unique health experiences with solutions centered in sleep. Ongoing strategic partnerships with industry leaders, including the National Sleep Foundation, will continue to deliver on Samsung’s holistic sleep vision, offering even more intuitive and actionable insights to help everyone achieve their wellness goals.

In the blink of an eye, the first quarter of the year is up. Have you been keeping to your new year’s resolutions? At the start of 2023, you told yourself that you would lean into better health by hitting the gym, work more efficiently, and making time for much needed R&R. Sure, some resolutions need a lot of work and commitment to see through, but who says you can’t get help? Here are small, but mighty devices to help you achieve your resolutions.

Staying resolute with the Galaxy Watch5 series

The Galaxy Watch5 series will help you go the distance in your fitness and travel resolutions. You can measure Body Composition[1] to understand your muscle, bone, water, and fat percentage, so that you can follow the best workout for your body. Recently, the Blood Pressure and Electrocardiogram (ECG) tracking was launched in Malaysia[2], making the watch your ideal personal fitness monitoring device to complement your regular medical check-ups.

In terms of mental health, the watch can also show your stress levels and recommend breathing exercises, so that you can take the right steps to manage your stress and stay calm. Sleep is also an incredibly important factor when it comes to our health. Wear the Galaxy Watch5 series as part of your bedtime routine to get your sleep analysis and follow through with a personalised Sleep Coaching Program[3] to improve your sleep quality.

And when you get a case of the travel bug, you can use the Route Target[4] and Track Back[5] features on the Galaxy Watch5 Pro to pre-set routes and return safely the way you came, so you can get lost in nature without actually getting lost. Designed with premium Sapphire Crystal glass display that’s twice as tough[6] and Titanium casing for durability, the Galaxy Watch5 Pro is perfect for your active lifestyle and outdoor travels, even when you’re roughing it out in hard terrains. Importantly, the watch has a massive battery[7], so you can run off on your adventures without interruptions.

Shut out any distractions with the Galaxy Buds2 Pro

If you’ve promised yourself to up your game at work, working out, travelling, or even redecorating your house, let the Galaxy Buds2 Pro help you be a resolution keeper. Music is the ideal companion for exercising and dancing, so let the 24bit Hi-Fi[8] will delight your ears with crystal clear sound, while the 360 Audio[9] immerses you in the music, making you feel like you can hear the sounds coming from every direction.

Distractions can keep you from achieving your work resolutions and being productive, whether you’re in an office setting or working remotely in busy café outside. So, activate Active Noise Cancelling (ANC)[10] on the Galaxy Buds2 Pro to shut out the noise and give 100% of your attention to your tasks.

If you can’t go a day without listening to your tracks, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro’s longer battery life[11] lets you jam for longer. And when you’re in the thick of a busy workday, jumping from one meeting to another, then back to your own tasks, Auto Switch lets you seamlessly shift between your Samsung Galaxy phone, tablet and watch with ease.

Ace the rest of the year with the Galaxy Watch5 series and Galaxy Buds2 Pro right now!

The road to fitness is one that is driven by desire, devotion, and a lot of passion. Take it from Colleen Augustin, a vegan MMA fighter and flag football youth coach, who maintains a healthy lifestyle with the latest Samsung Galaxy Watch5.

“The new Samsung Galaxy Watch5 is ideal for me as I can check if I am getting the right amount of recovery for my training sessions and I keep track of my physique progress with the smartwatch, which is very convenient,” Colleen shared. She also finds it especially fascinating that the watch does not slip off her wrist in the middle of extreme activities.

The Galaxy Watch5 Series is innovated to enable users to follow holistic health practices. Through a single chip, the watch combines powerful health sensors, including the cutting-edge Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis[1] (BIA) sensor, and Optical Heart Rate[2] (HR) sensor, enabling users to monitor their Body Composition[3], heart rate patterns, and blood oxygen level, and gain a deeper understanding of their overall health and fitness. According to Colleen, she was taken aback by how quickly and precisely her portable analytical device could assess her body with key measurements like skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, body water, and body fat percentage.

As an MMA fighter, she needs to continuously improve her power, strength, stamina, thus heart rate monitoring is one of the metrics she focuses on the most. Thanks to the Galaxy Watch5’s over 90 unique workout modes that track and report insightful workout analysis, including workout duration, calories burned, heart rate zones, and sweat loss, Colleen can easily keep track and evaluate her performance to work out how she can improve and achieve her ideal body stats.

When asked to share tips to stay healthy as a vegan, Colleen said, “Be aware of what you put into your body. Not everything vegan is healthy especially if it’s processed. Find ways to make it easy and affordable for you to stay fit and healthy. If you’re a busy person and have no time to cook, find a way where you can eat affordable nutritious meal on a daily basis.”

“Although being a vegan is a lifestyle decision, it has truly benefited me with my athletic performance, as well as how I feel mentally and physically,” she added. Despite Colleen’s tight schedule, she is able to input her daily meals on her Galaxy Watch5, which convenient her journey to her health goals.

Touching on health goals, Colleen revealed how the Samsung Health app has helped her in tracking and managing her nutrition intake. “With Samsung Health, I can record the calories or nutrition I have in every meal through my watch. This feature helps me to strictly monitor what I have eaten,” she said. “I think that the Nutrition Intake Monitoring makes it easier for people to track their meals without much hassle, especially for those who are extremely busy,” she added enthusiastically.

Having good sleep is crucial for health and well-being. Another favourite feature of Colleen’s, which surprises her at how beneficial it is, is the sleep tracking technology. Colleen dislikes sacrificing her beauty sleep and consistently strives to gain sufficient rest. “My sleep quality is everywhere at times due to the hours of sleep. I might be sleeping seven hours, but due to the previous day’s lack of sleep, it might affect my sleep cycle,” she shared.

Colleen added “The Galaxy Watch5’s Sleep Coaching Program tracks my sleep stages and matches them to a unique Sleep Animal. According to Samsung Health app, my sleep patterns[4] are identical to a Nervous Penguin, which indicates that I frequently have difficulty falling or staying asleep. Thanks to the analysis, I’m currently undertaking the app’s personalised, advanced Sleep Coaching Program[5] to gradually improve my sleep quality and habits.”

To Colleen, the Galaxy Watch5 is the ideal fusion of practicality, toughness, and design that gives users the capacity to take control of daily routines and improve every fitness endeavour. So start your wellness journey with the Galaxy Watch5 Series now as the New Year approaches.

Samsung Malaysia Electronics hosted its first ever spinning fitness event at FlyProject, Publika to offer Galaxy Watch5 Series experiential opportunities and showcase its cutting-edge fitness features to FlyProject members. Together with FlyProject’s Rockstar Spin Instructors, Jojo Tan and Jaz Izwan, Samsung fuels the fitness experience by demonstrating holistic health monitoring on Samsung Health, and workout performance tracking on Galaxy Watch5 Series.

The main fitness features highlighted included the Body Composition monitoring, fitness targets setting, 90+ Workout Modes support, and the fully connected watch-phone experience, as these are the key metrics that fitness aficionados look for. Galaxy Watch5 consumers at the event were surprised and delighted by new hands-on experiences in obtaining body composition data in just 15 seconds at their fingertips, as well as tracking their spinning (“Indoor Cycling”) workout performance with detailed analysis including heart rate zones, calories burned, sweat loss, recovery and more.

Gan Jun Keat, the Product Manager of Galaxy Wearables at Samsung Electronics Malaysia said “the Galaxy Watch5 Series was designed to provide a comprehensive and personalised wellness experience to help users stay healthy and engaged – with its wide range of end-to-end metrics, including advanced sleep coaching, body composition measurement, and in-depth heart rate monitoring to assess fitness and stress levels.”

“Following the intense spinning session, the Workout Mode on the Galaxy Watch5 Series will share detailed results of your indoor spinning performance, including calories burned, workout time, and heart rate zone analysis. The heart rate zone analyses the effectiveness of your workout based on your heart rate. For instance, Aerobic (70% to 80% of your maximum heart rate) is the ideal zone for weight loss as the total calories burnt is higher, making it great for burning fat, strengthening muscles and general fitness!” he added.

The successful event drew an enthusiastic crowd of 40 participants. Among the highlights of the event was a talk session by Jun Keat, Product Manager of Galaxy Wearables, who shared the innovative features of the Samsung Galaxy Watch5 series and an exciting, intense spinning session with fitness experts and spin instructors, Jojo Tan and Jaz.

Participants of the Event Shared Their Thoughts

Whether you are an amateur or fitness expert, understanding yourself is the first step towards an effective fitness journey. When spin instructor, Jojo Tan embarked on her fitness journey in 2020, she searched for a smartwatch that would complement her lifestyle and track more than simply distance and time. She found her answer in the Galaxy Watch5 Series.

Awareness on Body Composition

“I got the Galaxy Watch5 for two main reasons: its fitness tracking and body composition monitoring features,” shared Jojo. Extremely dedicated to building lean muscle mass, the Galaxy Watch5’s Bioelectrical Impedance (BIA) Sensor has been imperative in helping her obtain real-time analysis on her muscle mass, body fat percentage and water weight without having to regularly visit the gym. At just the tip of her fingers, she can conveniently monitor her fitness progress and adjust necessary lifestyle changes to improve.

Consistency is the Key

Consistency is the key to every goal. In order to be fit and healthy, Jojo emphasizes the importance of consistency in a nutritious diet, routine exercises, and self-care activities. She adheres to a strict diet – low carb, high protein – and workout, up to five days a week with weights to build leaner muscle mass. “When you consume clean, healthy meals that are low-fat, you will begin to notice a decrease in body weight and body fat, which contributes to more energy (muscles) and better sense of wellbeing,” she shared. Jojo also uses Samsung Health as a food journal as it offers insightful data into her caloric and nutritional intakes and lets her set daily food intake goals.

Be As Active As You Can

For those who are passionate about working out and are constantly exploring new sports, Jojo truly believes that the Galaxy Watch5 Series is for you! This advanced Galaxy Watch5 can track a whopping 120 different sports, including spinning, circuit training, running, weight machines, and climbing indoor exercises (HIIT, Yoga, and Tabata). Weightlifting is currently Jojo’s preferred exercise for bodybuilding. “Please do not be afraid to lift weights. Ladies should lift more weights as it will not only help quickly lose weight and achieve better health but also develop greater strength and confidence,” she recommends.

Additionally, the Samsung Health offers custom targeted fitness programmes, such as balance training, endurance training, and weight loss, as well as workouts tailored exclusively for women. Once you equip yourself with the Galaxy Watch5 Series, you will be as driven to work out as Jojo thanks to its wide selection of fitness programmes and workout modes.

Prioritise Self-Care

Apart from all the incredible health and fitness features, another one that excites Jojo is the Sleep Coaching Programme in Samsung Health. “The sleep tracking feature is so amazing! I am extremely impressed with how I can always wake up to insights on my sleep scores and patterns in different sleep stages, as well as get matched to a Sleep Animal and coached by Samsung Health with daily missions!” she exclaimed happily.

When the night falls, take a cue from Jojo to always have some me-time before bed – whether it’s a longer-than-usual skincare routine, turning on the air-conditioning for optimum comfort, or simply some mindfulness breathing. Jojo also made it a point to always go to bed with low stress levels in order to wake up feeling refreshed and recharged the next day.

Galaxy Watch5 is an excellent choice for individuals looking for a health management experience with comprehensive health and fitness features, concludes Jojo.

It’s hardly a surprise that people are concerned about whether they get enough sleep. A sleep survey conducted by Nielsen indicates that 9 out of 10 Malaysians suffer from one or more sleep problems. Most people are unaware that sleep deficiency is linked to many chronic health problems, including heart disease, kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, obesity, and depression.

Echoing the importance of getting quality sleep is Dr. Wan, a medical doctor who works at a private clinic – also well-known as Dr1 Share on TikTok, sharing public health matters related to mental health, nutritional education, and general medical issues. According to him, most adults require between eight to ten hours of sleep each day to maintain a healthy wellbeing. So, to keep waking up on the right side of his bed every day, he always made sure to avoid caffeinated drinks for at least six hours before sleep, put his phone away at least 30 minutes before bed and exercise daily.

Dr. Wan highlights that it is very important for people to track sleep so that they are aware of their sleep patterns and how their sleep quality can affect their mental and physical health. “Lack of sleep leads to fatigue, which makes it difficult to cope with day-to-day tasks. Fatigue then causes stress or worry, making you feel less productive. That is an awful state to be in. So, be accountable for your actions, track your sleeping habits, and take on Samsung Health’s Sleep Coaching Program. We do better when someone (or an app) is monitoring us,” he said.

“Initially, I was drawn to the Galaxy Watch5 Pro because of its bold design and its ability to measure body composition[1] to help with my weight-loss journey. However, I then learned that the Samsung Health[2] app offers not only fitness coaching programs but also a special coaching program specifically for Sleep! That’s something cool I’ve never seen elsewhere,” he exclaimed.

As most people can’t figure out how well they’re sleeping, Samsung Health’s sleep management features definitely helps. Galaxy Watch5 Series will analyse sleep patterns[3] through Sleep Scores, which monitor your sleep stages, snore detection[4], and blood oxygen levels. With the data collected, Samsung Health will then assigns users a Sleep Animal based on the sleeping style[5], – such as Unconcerned Lion, Nervous Penguin, Alligator on the Hunt and more. Once the user has been assigned a Sleep Symbol, the app will curate a personalised Sleep Coaching[6] Program that runs a month-long, offering daily missions, checklists, sleep tips, motivational messages, meditation guidance, and sleep reports to improve sleep habits.

According to Dr. Wan’s seven-day sleep analysis, he was matched to the Sun-averse Mole as his Sleep Symbol because he frequently stays up late and sleeps for an average of eight hours. To break his unhealthy night owl habit, Samsung Health advises him to wake up early, workout in the morning, be more active during the day. So far, Dr. Wan is enjoying checking off his daily tasks, and is anticipating improvements in his sleep score in the upcoming weeks.

Additionally, Samsung Health offers wellness features such as stress level monitoring, deep breathing exercises, mindfulness meditations, sleep stories and music in the app. All of which help in calming stress and enhancing a restful sleep. Dr. Wan would always unwind at the end of the day with the guided meditation and treat himself to wholesome meals to uplift his mood and mind.

Dr. Wan believes that if you have the right way to understand your body and help it recover, you can achieve anything and be in a better physical, mental and emotional state. This is the perfect reason to equip yourself with the brand-new Galaxy Watch5 Series.
