Inaccurate sleep tracking

roelbego, we’d like to make sure that your Apple Watch and companion iPhone are both fully up to date.

For an iPhone, the latest iOS is 16.1.1. An Apple Watch should be on watchOS 9.1. If both devices needs updating, please start with your iPhone first:

Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Update your Apple Watch - Apple Support

After they’re fully updated, track your sleep and see if there’s any improvement.

If updating didn’t resolve the issue, or both device were up to date, delete the sleep schedule, restart the device, then set up your sleep schedule again. Depending on whether you set it up directly on your Apple Watch or iPhone, here are the steps:

Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone - Apple Support

Track your sleep with Apple Watch - Apple Support

Afterwards, track your sleep again and let us know the results when you’re able.

All the best.

Hey there roelbego,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. To get started, it is possible that your Apple Watch may be show you as awake due to movement during your natural sleep.

For steps on how to get more accurate results when tracking your sleep with your Apple Watch, check out the steps below: Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone - Apple Support

Get more accurate results with your Apple Watch

If you paired your Apple Watch after completing Sleep setup, you can still turn on Track Sleep with Apple Watch. In the Watch app on your iPhone, tap the My Watch tab, then tap Sleep. Then tap Track Sleep with Apple Watch to turn on this setting. To get the most accurate results when wearing your watch to sleep:

- Turn on Charging Reminders. On your iPhone, open the Watch app and tap the My Watch tab, then tap Sleep. Tap Charging Reminders to turn on a reminder on your Apple Watch to charge before your Wind Down time. If your watch battery dies, it won't track your sleep data.

- Make sure that you're wearing your Apple Watch at a comfortable fit. If your watch is too loose, the accelerometer might register too much movement during your natural sleep.

Let us know if that's able to help.

Cheers!

roelbego,

Thanks for this details. At this point, we suggest you contact Apple Support. They'll be able to look into this with you further.

Take care!
