Apple Watch resting energy

I have found that some nights while my watch is on the charge stand, it estimates resting energy all night long and other nights it doesn’t. Does anyone know how to change this so it always estimates while on the stand?

My Apple Watch Does not estimate resting energy I have an apple watch series 7 with OS 10.3. I like being able to track my total calories (resting + active) however, every few days my watch does not estimate my resting energy during the night when it is charging. Normally, it estimates my resting energy when it is charging and when I am not wearing the watch. See images for examples of normal behavior and missing data. On both occasions, my watch was chaing during the night. Any ideas how to resolve this? tia [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Resting energy is off when wearing my watch at night Hi, ever since the WatchOS 7 update, I've worn my Apple Watch series 5 to sleep quite a few times. When I do so, my resting energy is way off. Normally, it should be around 2200 calories per day. When I leave my Watch on the charger at night, it's ok. When i wear it at night, it is around 800 to 1000 calories. This depends on the amount of time I sleep and the amount of time the Watch spends charging. When I wear the Watch at night, resting energy is also off during the day. For instance, I've had hours with 33 calories spent, which is way too low: it should be between 80 and 100 calories per hour. It could be related to the fact that the Watch does not measure heart rate at night: the Watch seems to associate a lack of heart rate measurement while worn with no calories consumed, which seems absurd. This is very annoying to me, as LoseIt uses the Watch's resting energy to calculate my energy budget. If it thinks I spend 1000 calories just existing, it throws exercise calculations off by a country mile. Is there a fix? I've already unpaired and paired my Watch three times: I restored from a backup twice, and I have now configured my Watch as a brand new watch.

Resting energy not showing when not wearing watch Hello, My understanding was that the Apple Watch would calculate resting energy expenditure on its own, however if I take my watch off and charge it overnight, it does not calculate the calories that I burned. Here's a screenshot showing that when I took my watch off at 9:30 last night, it stopped tracking calories, and this morning I have zero calories burned when I wake up. CanI get my watch to track calories even when it's charging, besides having to wear it?
