How Does a Smartphone Know You're Tired?

Imagine your phone is like a smart friend who watches you every day. If it sees that you're staying up late, taking naps during the day, or not moving as much as usual, it might guess that you're tired and tell you to go to sleep. It uses little helpers inside, like sensors in your phone and watch, to learn about your habits and know when to suggest a good night's rest.
