Average time in bed less than average asleep time?

I am using the new sleep feature on Watch OS 7 and finding an annoyance with how the app is tracking time in bed.

I have a sleep schedule set for 12am - 8am.

I go to bed around 1am and sleep till 10am.

The watch and phone are accurately detecting when I go to bed at 1am but when do not disturb turns off at 8am the phone is tracking this as an "out of bed" event.

4 day Averages

Time in Bed: 6 hours 57 minutes

Time Asleep: 8 hours 55 minutes

Doesn't it make sense for time in bed to exceed time asleep? How do we fix the phone thinking its out of bed when do not disturb turns off via the sleep schedule?

Does sleep schedule even need to be turned on for sleep tracking?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

I think I have found out a way to fix at least some part of the problem, if not the whole issue. At least it will make the «in bed»/«asleep» ratio seem more realistic.

Open the Health app on your iPhone. Choose the Sleep option, scroll down to the bottom and choose the «Show all data» option. There you will be able to delete registrations you don’t want there.

So this is what I did: I deleted «in bed» registrations from my iPhone laying still (not registrations from my Watch) that I either know is wrong because it clearly is based on my sleep schedule (ending 7.30am), or because it only shows a few hours of «in bed» in the middle of the night.

As the screenshots can tell, there was a faulty «in bed» registration on saturday 7th of November. In the «Show all data» option, I could see that my iPhone had registred 39 minutes of «in bed» 1 hour after I actually woke up (based on the registrations from my Watch), which I know is not the case.

Therefore I deleted the registration and as you can see, the «in bed» average actually goes up afterwards.
