How do I edit inaccurate sleep data I added in the health app?

My new Apple Watch didn’t capture a couple of nights of my sleep so I went to add the data manually on the health app. However, when doing so the data inputted wasn’t accurate. How do I undo this last action so I can sustain accurate trend data? The health app currently reports I’m sleeping 14 hours a night on average.

Editing Apple Watch / Health sleep data I know there is no way to edit sleep data imported from the Apple Watch but my watch often interprets reading or meditating as sleep and I’d like to request a new feature to be able to manually delete or edit certain sleep segments in iPhone health app.

Data Sources for Sleep Tracking in Health App I use the AutoSleep app to track my sleep. In the Health App, AutoSleep is at the top of the priority list of Data Sources, followed by my Apple Watch and iPhone. According to the Health app, "when multiple sources are available, one data source will be chosen based on the priority order listed". This implies to me that the Health app should follow the data provided by AutoSleep and then share that data out to the apps I have set as "allowed to read data". This doesn't seem to be working properly. An example from last night: AutoSleep shows that I slept 8hr 2min From within the Health app, if I check the AutoSleep data (at the top of my Data Sources list), it does in fact show 8hr 2min. However, the sleep data within the Health app itself is showing 9hr 1min. 9hr 1min is also what's being shared out from the Health app to my other apps (e.g., Lose It! app for tracking calories). The 9hr 1min number seems to be coming from my Apple Watch itself, which is listed as the 2nd priority for sleep data. I want to use AutoSleep as the primary (and only) data source for tracking sleep. Based on the language in the Health app, this should already be the case as long as it is listed at the top of the Data Sources list and syncing properly (which it is). I can't find a way to tell the Health app to actually prioritize AutoSleep data or to completely ignore my Apple Watch and iPhone sleep data. Why is this happening?

I don't see sleep app in apple watch I want to track deep sleep with my Apple Watch SE. I understand I am to setup track sleep with apple watch in my iphone watch app. When I open the app, I do not see a sleep setting. It is there in my Health app. The data source is set to my phone, but I do not see a way to change it to the apple watch. What am I doing wrong?

In the section you were in with the wrong data tap edit in the top right corner and you can adjust it here.
