What does the new color in my Apple Watch Sleep app mean?

For the last few days my stages in sleep app, has this weird new color or lack of definite color as shown circled in image. Can anyone tell me what that means and how to get it back to tracking stages?

I did and I still got same results today. This has been happening since updates iOS18 iPhone and iOS11 watch. I even tried deleting schedule on both devices, restarting both then adding sleep schedule back.

My watch detected a nap while I was reading the newspaper this morning for 15min.

Looking at my heart rate during this time, it seems to be, that not moving and having a heart rate higher than the resting heart rate, will trigger the recording of a nap, instead of being awake and moving, or sleeping, showing a lower heart rate.

Not sure people who think not is napping is true.

This comes up during my sleep focus. In middle of nightly sleep. As the OP showed in his screen shot.

Not a nap.

this Didn’t use to happen.

But I too have had it happen with frequency.

oddly it never comes up when I occasionally nap.

This looks like the watch could not record sleep data during this time, for some unknown reason.

Did you try to force restart by pressing and holding the Digital Crown and the Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
