Apple Watch 11 showing long wake times in sleep tracking

Had a series 6, upgraded to 11. I use sleep tracking/focus and have noticed it consistently shows that I have hours long waking periods when I know I was not awake for two hours in the middle of the night. Is anyone else having this problem? I’m still in the window to return, so I’m probably going to return it and just go back to my old one if there’s no solution.

Apple Watch Series 11, watchOS 26

My Ultra 2 does the same since upgrading to watchOS 26, showing between 30 and 60 min of being awake, when I was just turning around after checking the time, for example.

We should all use the Feedback link to make them aware of this issue, recording Sleep has been no problem in watchOS 11.

And my 3rd party Sleep app does not record these times of being awake, only the new Apple Sleep app does this.
