How to correct wrong sleep data in health.app

I discovered wrong sleep data for last night and wanted to manually fix that data. So went into health.app > sleep > show all data > data from last night

→ wrong starting time

But I do not see any edit option. how does apple think, a user is supposed to correct wrong data? This was so obvious, that I expected an edit option but at the last level there is no edit option. When showing the sleep data of several nights there is an edit option, but all that can be done is, delete the data of a certain night.

May I be missing something here?

iOS 10.0.2, health.app

I have the same problem only at the end of the sleep cycle. If I get up before the set time, even though I’m active and using the phone it still posts the set time... or if I’m up during the night and return to bed it only posts the second part as sleep or in bed time.

I have been having this issue as well. If I go to bed earlier than my target time (23:30) it just uses my target time to start recording the night's sleep.

Whilst I have not been able to edit the incorrect data, what I have done is delete it (Show All Data > Edit > remove the incorrect entry) and then add a new one from the + sign on the Sleep Analysis screen. I hope that helps as a short term fix, though hopefully an Apple update will come along to allow editing soon.
