apple watch sleep tracking

I work 3rd shift, in the middle of the night and sleep usually 2pm-9pm every day. However in the sleep section on the heath app it is split into two different days and says I only get 4 or 3 hours of sleep a day because it thinks it’s two different days. How do I fix this issue.

Why does my Apple Watch Series 10 start Tracking Sleep early? I have had my Series 10 for about 3 weeks and am struggling to believe what the sleep tracking is telling me. I thought that it tracked based on what you had set as sleep and wake times. Maybe I was wrong. sleep tracking seems to start at some random point in the evening. I have my “bedtime” set to 11pm, yet sleep tracking will often start at 8 or 9pm ish recording time I know I am awake and, normally, watching TV as core sleep. As a result it overstates the amount of sleep I am getting by 1-3 hours. Anyone any ideas why, or what can be done to improve things? At the Mekong the sleep tracking function is if virtually no value to me. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Apple Watch SE (2022) Sleep Tracker doesn’t work Hello, My watch that I got two days ago does not track my sleep cycles but only when I was asleep based on the already provided time intervals. In the Health app however under my profile > privacy > devices > Apple Watch - it doesn’t mentioned sleep tracking at all but everything else is there. Health App > Browse > Sleep > Data Sources & Access - the Apple Watch is not there at all and I have no option to add it. As far as I’ve read online this should be the issue but can’t seem to find how to solve it. Would someone be able to help? Thank you!
