Apple Watch sleep tracking issues

I’m hoping someone can help me with an issue I’m having my Apple Watch sleep tracking.

For some reason when I’m viewing my sleep data whilst my watch is still in sleep mode (but only minutes before it automatically switches sleep mode off) my sleep data looks very different.

For example my deep sleep went from saying 2 hr 4 min to 40 min.

Please can somebody tell

me why this would be happening?

I have attached photos to show the comparison in data from the same nights sleep, pre and post sleep mode switching off.

Any advice would be great. Thanks!

Yes, no changes again today.

Maybe it's time to report this issue directly to Apple, in case this is related to the latest watchOS/iOS update

I have noticed this on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 as well.

The 3rd. party app I'm using reports longer Deep Sleep phases than the Apple Sleep App. Once the 3rd party app syncs to Apple Sleep, both apps show the same value, and it is always around +/-40min.

And, there are no more Deep phases recorded after midnight.

Yes exactly the same. My third party app (Pillow) record’s significantly more deep sleep than my Apple sleep. No idea why and sounds like you’re in the same boat. It’s very frustrating!

One thing I have found is the Pillow app does seem to retain its original data and even when it syncs with Apple sleep.
