Apple Watch not accurately tracking sleep cycle

How come it shows me awake when I am still asleep, yet when I actually wake up ie. 3:42 am it shows me in a rem cycle and not actually awake. It doesn’t feel like the watch is an accurate representation of my sleep cycle leaving me wondering why I am using it in the first place?

Apple Watch sleep tracking is inaccurate after recent update My apple watch updated 7-10 days ago and ever since then my sleep tracking seems to be off. For example this morning I got up at 5am and let the dog out. Went back to bed 5 minutes later and slept until 630. I know it wasn't a deep sleep again but I dozed on and off. It didn't capture any of that. Other days it has lost the first half of my sleep if I sleep from 1030pm to 2am or something and go to the bathroom. It shows me going to bed at 2 and loses the entire first half. I just started with the new update.
