Why isn't my Apple watch showing up as data source for sleep?

I've just purchased a new apple watch SE specifically for sleep tracking and the last couple nights, nothing is being recorded. After some research, I toggled everything on and off (everything was already "on"), hard restarted phone/watch and the watch still isn't showing as a Data Source.

I have the following settings turned on:

-track sleep with apple watch

-sleep focus w/ wind down

-automatically turn on sleep focus when wind down begins

-share across devices

Am I missing something or is this a glitch in the Sleep tracking?

Apple Watch SE, watchOS 9
