I have the standard watch 5 (I think) and it's just a bit bulky for my preference, the band is also just not a material I'd like to sleep in. Is there a band you'd recommend, a way to make it more comfortable??

Also on another related topic how do you stop the screen from turning on when you turn your arm, cause I'm not a still sleeper and that light turning on in the middle of the night will disturb my sleep 100%.

Try a leather band. Those are comfortable in my opinion and the turn to wake can be turned off in the display settings.

I wear mine every night I have mine where its not too tight so it will slid around some.  I prefer the band on the Ultra with the folding clasp it makes a perfect fix every time.

@madra29 I just turn on Sleep mode manually on the watch when I get into bed. This stops the screen from waking when I move my arm.

If you ever slept with any watch, it shouldn't be a hard adjustment to get used to the Galaxy watch.  If you don't like the band, there are many you can replace it with, Amazon has a slew of them at reasonable prices.  The first thing I do when I get a new watch is change the band (can't stand the silicone/plastic).  As far as keeping the screen off, that's what "sleep mode" is for.  Turn on sleep mode when you go to bed and your DND will be on and your watch screen will be turned off to touch actions. You will need to press the home button to check the time or turn off sleep mode.

 

Just FYI, even with the screen dark, you might still get some flashes from the sensors if you move your arm. If you are very light sensitive,  this can be solved by wearing an athletic wrist band over the watch (buy a large one, if you are finding wearing the watch already uncomfortable.)

Get a galaxy ring. I was looking into that for my sleep. But I have been wearing my watch and must admit, I've been falling asleep easy with it on.

Also, enable the Sleep mode on your watch to stop it from turning on.
