How can I edit inaccurately recorded sleep?

I seriously miss my Fitbit and my Garmin. Apple Watch sleep tracking is not as accurate and I can’t edit the start and wake times from the night before. It is not helpful to have loads of inaccuracies piled on one another. Why can’t I edit this?

Control sleep tracking manually? Is there a way to turn on/off Sleep tracking (data source = Apple Watch series 8) manually at different, unknown and random times each day? My sleep is anything BUT ‘scheduled’. I’d like to be able to: 1) crawl into bed at different and random times each night; 2) tap a button that tells my watch to start recording sleep data; 3) wake up at some unknown, different and random time each morning; 4) tap a button to end tracking. I have been messing with ‘sleep schedules’ and ‘sleep focus’ for several days, but can’t figure this out. If I set a schedule, but sleep past the set ‘wake up time’, the tracking turns off prematurely. For example: It’s 11p and bed time. My set sleep schedule bed time is set to 11p. I am not sure when I will wake up, but I have to enter a time, so I estimate 9a and enter that as my wake time. BUT because I’m sick, for example, I end up unexpectedly sleeping an extra hour and not waking up until 10a. Well, this extra hour is not tracked because tracking turned off automatically at 9a based on my guess of wake up time entered the night before. I would love to be able to sleep that unexpected extra hour, have it tracked, and then tap a button at 10a (or whenever) I really do wake up. I realize I can have multiple schedules as well as change bed/wake times of any schedule for ‘just the next time’, but this still requires me to guess when I will wake. I have learned I can turn ‘sleep focus’ on/off manually whenever I please, and not have it linked to any sleep schedule, so that seemed promising, BUT, even when I turn off sleep focus after I sleep that extra unexpected hour, my sleep tracking data stopped being logged at the earlier time. What am I missing? Thanks for any help! Specs: Apple watch series 8; watchOS 9.6.1 iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16.6

Watch and phone not listed as data source for sleep Hi all the topic is as above. Devices are listed as devices for counting steps and heart rate but somehow only sleep is missing. I have tried a force restart on phone and watch. Deleted sleep schedule and focus and set it up again. I have confirmed that on Watch in sleep app sleep tracking is in on and it’s linked to the sleep focus. The only app that is listed as source for sleep tracking is zeeplife… My questions are: How can I add Watch to the list of the source devices? How to remove that zeeplife from this list.(App is deleted from the phone) I would be extremely grateful for your help BR 3Cina

Sleep tracking is working not as expected on iOS14/WatchOS 7 with Health app and AutoSleep app too Hi. It looks like the new sleep tracking feature in iOS14/WatchOS 7 is working not as expected. I was using the AutoSleep app for years on my iPhone/Watch to track my sleep, and after updating to iOS14 and WatchOS 7 tried to enable the native new feature, but it shows me completely incorrect data. It does not track sleep as expected. The Health app asks to set desired sleep hours, but unfortunately pretty often I go to sleep much later or much earlier, and wake up also later or earlier. I have a lot of reasons for it, including my work schedule. Unfortunately, I can’t go to sleep exactly when scheduled. The AutoSleep app was able to detect proper sleep time by itself, based on heart rate and activity. The new iOS 14 sleep feature doesn't work that good. For example today I went to sleep at 6:30AM and woke up at 3:15PM (had to work during the night). The sleep schedule was set to 4AM-1PM, and the Health app shows me that I went to sleep at 4:30AM woke up exactly at 1PM :-O So it’s completely irrelevant. And the worst part is that the update ruined my AutoSleep app. Now it does not work, can’t collect data etc. I’m trying to find solution at the moment, trying to reset my watches (S4 and S5), trying to reset permissions etc., but... nothing helps right now :-( Any ideas what can I do to get my sleep tracking back?
