Apple Watch SE (2022) Sleep Tracker doesn’t work

Hello,

My watch that I got two days ago does not track my sleep cycles but only when I was asleep based on the already provided time intervals.

In the Health app however under my profile > privacy > devices > Apple Watch - it doesn’t mentioned sleep tracking at all but everything else is there.

Health App > Browse > Sleep > Data Sources & Access - the Apple Watch is not there at all and I have no option to add it. As far as I’ve read online this should be the issue but can’t seem to find how to solve it.

Would someone be able to help?

Thank you!

Does anyone know how long it takes for sleep data to update after someone rises for the day? Sometimes my watch fails to record, and I can't tell when it's not working and when it just hasn't synced yet.
Do people generally leave bluetooth on? It drains my phone battery so I generally only turn it on sporadically over the day to get activity updates.

It sounds like you don't have sleep tracking turned on. Go to your watch's Settings app and choose Sleep. Scroll down and make sure that Sleep tracking is toggled on. Also, verify that you have a Sleep Focus set-up (that's the do not disturb for sleep.)

Finally, open the Sleep app and create or modify your sleep schedule.

To get sleep data, your watch should have at least 30% of its battery charge remaining before you hit the sack so it can track sleep.

Good luck!

It is all fixed. Thank you for the help. The problem for me was that the app defaulted in the phone tracking my sleep so once I turned that off it worked. Hope this might provide some help to someone facing the same issue.

Thank you for your answer.

I checked all of them and they were how it should have been.

I'll try to investigate some more.
