iPhone13 & iWatch 7 has stopped recording sleep phases

Just over a week ago, my Health app has stopped recording sleep stages although it still gives a simplified time in bed. I hvaen't knowingly changed any settings for it to have stopped. I have checked all settings and they seem correct. I have now done and erase and reset both phone and watch but it still does the same. Has anyone else had this happen and how can I fix it?

Finally had success with my Sleep monitoring. The first night, ensuring the Sleep Focus was set made no difference - I still had the basic sleep time. For the second night I looked further into all the settings and found one setting "Use this Watch for Sleep mode" or similar wording and having this option ticked has now fixed it. I now have all my sleep data again.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with the Sleep Focus, I can only presume that I had inadvertently knocked a setting off somehow. All good now.

Make sure that your sleep focus is on when going to bed. If it is still no working you might want to force restart the watch to see if the issues persist


Press and hold both the side button and Digital Crown until the screen turns black and the Apple logo reappears, then release both buttons. Your watch might take a few moments to restart.

Never force restart the watch when updating watchOS
