Why is my Apple Watch 9 not tracking sleep despite correct settings?

Solution was to enable Sleep Focus, the watch does not show sleep stages data unless the sleep focus is turned on, either manually or along with the sleep schedule.

In Full Schedule under sleep, turn on Use Schedule for Sleep Focus, this will automatically turn on Sleep Focus.

Hope this helps the thousands of people dealing with this is stupid issue. Cheers.

Thanks. In the meanwhile I have downloaded an app called Autosleep which I now use. I haven’t tried your solution but I am not really interested in switching sleep focus on. I use focus when I am at movies, theatre etc.

I also use that app. It works very well for me.

While going thru settings for sleep focus etc thru the health app, at the very bottom of the sleep schedule settings page it has a link to “manage sleep in the Apple Watch app.” That brought me to sleep settings within the Apple Watch app and “track sleep with Apple Watch” was default turned off. I’m hoping that was the fix but unfortunately I won’t know until tonight.

Me too! Got an Series 9 couple of days ago and no sleep stages are being shown, only In Bed data is shown and the source for this is watch icon in the health app. NO SLEEP STAGES data is present, it shows No Recent Sleep Data.

getting restless about this, please let me know if you figure out a solution to this.

Yeah apple decided to regress idk why I remember iphone used to tell when you slept based on your phone’s activity… now you have to switch on a focus manually. Lame. And i havent found an app that works to save my life

On the Sleep app on the watch 9, my watch shows the detail on the page headed "Sleep Stages" but on the next page headed "Time Asleep" I just get a green bar without any detail. On the Health app on the iPhone I used to get the sages of sleep detail until a few days ago and now I only get a green bar. Have I inadvertently changed one of the settings?
