Apple watch is not tracking sleep stages and REM sleep

I get the same simplified bar, too. My husband’s works perfectly and shows all sorts of extra graphs and sleep stages. Ugh! I’ll try deleting my current sleep schedule AGAIN, fully charging the phone and watch AGAIN, and rebooting my phone. Fingers crossed 🤞

I have reset the watch completely and re-paired. I have deleted and started new sleep schedules. I have done everything that anyone has suggested and it still will not track sleep stages, only the amount of time asleep. Is there any fix?

Same thing has happened to me. I’ve had my Apple Watch 8 for a few weeks now and today I get no proper sleep analysis. I know some days it will take a few mins before it will show sleep stages. Today I’ve been awake for an hour and it’s still just showing me this simplified bar. I’ve changed no settings on my watch or phone this week.

I did just turn off my sleep focus and even changed the schedule (as recommended in this thread) but am still just getting the simplified sleep analysis for last night.

I have the same problem?

Other sleep trackers, both apps and other devices provide much more rem and deep sleep time. This very frustrating. Is there a way to find out what is at?

After noticing other apps were not syncing including the Apple Watch app itself (I had added a 3rd watch face 2 weeks ago and it never showed in my Watch app faces) it started to sink in that something had gone wrong in my initial setup or after that caused my apps to fail syncing. Notifications come through, but that isn’t the same as a sync, that just requires a connection and permission.

I went through the steps to erase my watch and start over. This morning my sleep data synced to my phone shortly after getting out of bed.

the Weather app now shows Celsius and Fahrenheit if I switch it in the weather app. Although, there was a moment where it wasn’t changing on the watch face, the weather app itself on my watch was updating.

If you check Show All Data on your health app under sleep at the bottom, and your watch isn’t adding it’s data daily, and if you change the units in the weather app and don’t see the change in your watch weather app, and you add a new face and your watch app on phone doesn’t show it, you can assume your apps are not syncing, you watch itself is not syncing. There may be other solutions, and a more exact description of what is actually happening, but using this info Erase Apple Watch - Apple Support

, try resetting your watch and testing the same things, you can immediately see if the weather unit and watch faces are syncing. Then, hopefully in the morning, your sleep data.

I would like to clarify what I'm seeing. My watch does track my sleep. It is not syncing to the phone so that I can see a record. Every morning, I can open the sleep app in my watch and see that it is capturing my data and even see that as far back as the 19th of January it has a record. But, I am not seeing it synced to my phone.

If you go into your iPhone Health app, to sleep, scroll to the bottom and click Show All Data, you will see what data is being collected and the source. The source is an icon of a cell phone, an Apple Watch, or a clock face which is the clock app. You can see what your data sources are in "Data Sources & Access". Mine shows that on January 19-20, both my phone and watch reported a sleep interval. That's it. And it is not reporting the more detailed sleep analysis I see in my watch app to the health app in my iPhone. Which is what I want to achieve.

Ok si i tried deleting other sleep apps (AutoSleep), turning on sleep mode, turning off alarms, etc. but what seems to be working is keeping the Apple Watch battery above 30% when going to sleep.

I haven’t tried to cause the failure again by sleeping with low battery but will find out. If that’s not it, the maybe was just an iOS issue because suddenly it started working again.

I tried everything mentioned in every online forum and none of the proposed solutions worked. The solution turned out to be to just clean the bottom of the watch where all the sensors are. Apparently the underside of the watch was so dirty that the sensors weren’t reading whatever they needed to read.

Did you perhaps turn on Family Sharing? I had the same number of days as you when it quit. After searching around, I found that answer which was accurate for me. I turned off Family Sharing and sleep stages started back for me.

As a newbie to Apple, I find it difficult to believe that their development teams do not talk to each other and there is little to no documentation about functionality. This is brain dead, stupid programming to cause these sorts of issues, especially with no notification to users when they turn on Sharing.

Even though you do what we’ve found to work, it’s still has a lot of improvement to be done.

Today my toddler woke up in the middle of the night and for some reason I turned off the sleep focus. So now I have half the night with proper sleep stages analysis and half without.

If I take a nap (say on Saturday) it show hours later, without sleep stages (even if I manually turn on sleep focus) and show in the Sunday’s chart.

Yeah family sharing turned out to have nothing to do with it. I deleted my sleep schedule and put it back in. Then I rebooted phone and watch. The next morning, it showed the stages for me after a short delay.

I’ve been on Family Sharing since before I got my Apple Watch and have never even seen sleep stages. Very disappointed since the new watch OS got me so excited about finally being able to use my watch to examine how I sleep.

Me too and I tried all of the suggestions. I know someone said family sharing had nothing to do with it , but I wonder if it does if you’re the organizer. At this point, I’m not sure what to do so I’ll take it to the Apple Store to deal with the myriad of problems I’m having right now with my apple products.

you have to open the schedule and scroll to the bottom and that’s where the delete button is located. This was unusually frustrating to fobs because I had just woken up and wanted to slide it left and delete it that way.
