Sleep recording on Apple Watch
Why does my Apple Watch stop recording my sleep?
Apple Watch Series 11, watchOS 26
Question marked as
There are several common reasons why Apple Watch may stop recording sleep. Here are things to check:
1. Charge level: Apple Watch needs at least 30% battery before bedtime to track sleep through the night. If the battery drains during sleep, tracking stops. Try charging your watch for 30 minutes before bed.
2. Sleep Focus / Sleep Schedule: Make sure Sleep Focus is enabled and a sleep schedule is set up. Go to the Health app on your iPhone > Browse > Sleep > Set Up Sleep, and ensure your schedule is active.
3. Wrist detection: Sleep tracking requires wrist detection to be on. Go to Settings on your Apple Watch > Passcode > enable Wrist Detection.
4. Wear fit: The watch needs to be snug on your wrist (but not too tight). A loose fit can cause the sensors to not detect you're wearing it.
5. watchOS update: Make sure watchOS 26 is fully up to date. Go to Watch app on iPhone > General > Software Update.
6. Restart the watch: A simple restart can resolve temporary sensor or software glitches. Press and hold the side button, then slide to power off.
Hope one of these fixes it for you!
