Night time resting energy data not always recorded while not wearing apple watch

I've been trying to track down why in LoseIt! the resting energy reported by my apple watch is sometimes significantly lower than expected. I discovered tonight looking through that data that most nights a baseline resting energy is recorded at night but occasionally it tracks nothing.

To clarify, I do not wear my apple watch at night (It's painful since I sleep with my hands under my pillow, wish I could change it but here we are.) It gets charged overnight right next to my iPhone. I can't find anything meaningfully different with my routine that might cause this.

If your watch is off apple health should put in a baseline resting energy (and does most of the time). That baseline is largely just calculated, not based on activity. For whatever reason some nights that baseline isn't added throwing off things that use that stat (Like LoseIt!) and it says you're gong to come in way under for the day.

I just had the same issue for the first time. I've been using the Resting Energy feature for months and then for some reason, last night, it just decided to stop estimating the resting energy for times when I'm not wearing the watch. I see several others on this stream with the same issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Does someone from Apple monitor these discussions? Would appreciate hearing from them if possible.

I'm having the same issue. I tried unpairing/re-pairing the watch—didn't do anything. It's very annoying and I can't work out why it's happening..

Re-paired my watch and it worked for about a week, then two nights in a row didn't record it, then last night it did. No idea.

Perhaps I'm just not understanding, but how would you expect your watch to capture any resting energy data, if the watch is not on your wrist because it is on its charger?
