Hi Rynah,


Thanks for those additional details! There's a few things we'd recommend if the tracking is no longer showing any data.


You'll want to make sure your watch and paired iPhone are both up to date.

Update your Apple Watch

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


You'll also want to try restarting both devices if you haven't already done so.

Restart Apple Watch

Restart your iPhone


If those things don't help, you can try deleting and re-adding your sleep schedule to see if that fixes the tracking.

Track your sleep with Apple Watch


If the sleep tracking still won't work, we'd recommend contacting Apple for assistance: Get Support


We hope this helps. Take care!

Hi Rynah,


We understand the sleep tracking function on your Apple Watch no longer works. We're happy to help.


To start, we'd suggest providing more specific detail on the issue. Is the Sleep app not opening or allowing you to start sleep in it? Are you able to start the Sleep app, but then the data from it isn't showing in your Health app the next day? Is it showing an incorrect sleep time in the Health app? Etc.


Answers to questions like these will help give the community a better idea of what you're seeing so members can provide more relevant responses.


In the meantime here's some general info on the sleep function that may be helpful: Track your sleep with Apple Watch


We look forward to your reply. Cheers!
