Sleep function setup problem - won’t finish

When I try to set up the sleep function on my brand-new Apple Watch 8, all goes well until I reach the final screen. When I tap Done, nothing happens.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 9

Hi Quixota,


Let's resolve the issue by restarting the Apple Watch using the steps here: Restart your Apple Watch - Apple Support that is also below.


"How to restart your Apple Watch if you have watchOS 8 or earlier

  1. If your Apple Watch is charging, take it off the charger.
  2. Press and hold the side button until you see the Power Off slider.
  3. Drag the Power Off slider.
  4. After your watch turns off, press and hold the side button again until you see the Apple logo"


Once done, we'd recommend starting the process to set up Sleep by completing the steps listed here: Track your sleep with Apple Watch - Apple Support that are also below.


"Set up Sleep on Apple Watch

  1. Open the Sleep app  on your Apple Watch.
  2. Follow the onscreen instructions.

You can also open the Health app on iPhone, tap Browse, tap Sleep, then tap Get Started (under Set Up Sleep)."


Best regards.
