Hi marilynfromhagerstown,


It looks like you've had the chance to take a look at Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone, but let's follow the steps that recommend:


If you paired your Apple Watch after completing Sleep setup, you can still turn on Track Sleep with Apple Watch. In the Watch app on your iPhone, tap the My Watch tab, then tap Sleep. Then tap Track Sleep with Apple Watch to turn on this setting. To get the most accurate results when wearing your watch to sleep:


Turn on Charging Reminders. On your iPhone, open the Watch app and tap the My Watch tab, then tap Sleep. Tap Charging Reminders to turn on a reminder on your Apple Watch to charge before your Wind Down time. If your watch battery dies, it won't track your sleep data.




Make sure that you're wearing your Apple Watch at a comfortable fit. If your watch is too loose, the accelerometer might register too much movement during your natural sleep.



If the issue remains after following the above advice, then let's follow the steps bellow.


How to restart your Apple Watch


Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.


Drag the Power Off slider.


After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo.


If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger first. When your watch is charging, you can't restart it. 



If the issue remains after following the advice above, then we would advise beginning troubleshooting the device by following the resources below. Both restarts and updates resolve issues both big and small. 


We hope that helps with your question and take care!
