Sometimes I wake up before my alarm after sleeping for 6+ hours with sleep turned on.
If I then skip my alarm, my apple watch shows no sleep data collected.
How do I fix this and recover the sleep data from those nights?
Apple Watch SE, watchOS 9
Hi Gena_D
My issue is not with the setup, nor with viewing my sleep history. I have been viewing my sleep history successfully for months, with a few exceptions.
My issue is the exceptions. When I wake up before my alarm in the morning and turn off the alarm or skip it before it has gone off, then my watch will not show any sleep data.
At that time the data has already been recorded, so there's no reason why the watch wouldn't simply register my night of sleep as having ended when I skipped the alarm.
I want to be able to wake up in the morning before my alarm, turn the alarm off, and still have my sleep data tracked.
Can you tell me how I can do that?
Thanks,
Corwin

It's not in the health app, I'll contact support, thanks
Hello corwinduncan,
To start off with, this article breaks down sleep tracking on your watch: Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone. Make sure everything is set up as described in this article.
In addition, this article give a bit more information including viewing your stored data: Track your sleep with Apple Watch. It explains:
"View your recent sleep history
on your Apple Watch.To see your sleep history on iPhone, open the Health app on iPhone, tap Browse, then tap Sleep. For more details—the average time you spent in each sleep stage, for example—tap Show More Sleep Data."
If everything is set up right and you are still unable to view your sleep history, please let us know and we can investigate further. Take care.
Hello corwinduncan,
While you can't see it when you turn off the alarm, see if it's still in the Health app.
View your sleep history in Health on iPhone - Apple Support
If it is, then that's the only way to review it if you wake up before the alarm.
If it isn't, then please contact Apple Support, as it should be tracking it still.
Thanks.
