Sleep Tracking Data Incorrect

I recently switched to a new sleep schedule coming from 7AM - 3PM to an 11AM - 7PM sleep schedule. I thought I did something wrong since the graph shows lesser hours than the actual sleep I have. Apparently, after testing, the apple sleep app, defaults the bar for sleep result starting 6PM to 6PM so it carries over the hours. I did testing by manually adding time stamps. 1 entry I had was a 10 hr sleep. But when the graph showed up, it cuts the time to just 7 hours and carries over time exceeding 18:00 to the next day. Is there a way to edit the time range on the result so that it will show a much accurate sleep duration?

Apple Watch Series 6, watchOS 9

no resolution yet. If I go daily view, it will still trim the sleep graph as seems like they defaulted all graphs to show 6 to 6 irregardless of what time your sleep schedule is

I’m working on my own issue with sleep data as well. Isn’t the graph start/stop timeframe set by the sleep schedule? I recently changed mine from 11pm-6:30 a.m. to 8pm to 8am and the graph changed accordingly. On the phone there are two sections where the sleep schedule needs to be changed. Still not sure why two places.

I have a new post with pics regarding my issue on the Community.

Nah. The graph doesn't specifically follow the sleep schedule set. the screenshot you set has 2 sections. the first one is to change just your upcoming sleep schedule, whilst the 2nd section is to set your default daily schedule. so if the next day, you would have to make changes with your sleep sched, you can edit just the 1st section.
