Daily sleep summary - solid horizontal box

Occasionally I get a SOLID HORIZONTAL BOX in the daily Apple health app sleep summary, instead of seeing rem, deep sleep, etc. detail. What does this mean? How do I fix this? Why is this occurring?

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 9

The first (and simplest) thing to try if something isn’t working right is to restart your Apple Watch and its paired iPhone. If necessary (device not responding), try a forced restart. Both methods can be found here:

If that doesn't help, the next steps would be to unpair and pair your watch again and restore from the backup just created. This should result in no loss of data. It deletes all temp and corrupted files and re-indexes the file system.
