Consistently Inaccurate Sleep Data (iOS 17, Series 3 Watch)
Like the title says.. I cannot get my Apple Watch to track my sleep correctly no matter what I do and am at my wits end. I’m running iOS 17.2.1 on the 14 Pro Max and using a Series 3 Apple Watch.
It is showing that I sleep but not even close to the amount of actual hours slept. Even if I turn Sleep Focus on (on my iphone) at bedtime and off when I wake up, it still doesn’t log the correct amount of hours.
Troubleshooting things I have already tried:
- Updated software on both the phone and watch
- Restarted both devices
- Verified that sleep tracking was set up correctly
- Adjusted the watch strap to make sure it isn’t too loose
- Un-paired and re-paired the watch
- Tried 2 different third party sleep tracking apps with the same issue
This was never a problem until fairly recently. I believe that changes in my health and medication may be at least part of this issue (my heart rate stays elevated and dips very little during sleep) but I would think that the hours would still be correctly tracked from turning Sleep Focus on overnight each night. This has been a consistent problem for 2 weeks so it’s not a one off thing.
