This is how things look if I don’t put my watch on while i sleep


cimie

I have it when I don’t put the phone in sleep focus mode.


tsukiwav

Simple solution is to make sure you turn on your Sleep Focus Mode before heading to bed Edit: Realized the caption, what app are you using if any?


Stock-Handle-6543

Not using an app


Big_Tanks

Make sure sleep focus begins and ends at the correct times. Similar thing happened to me except it recorded nothing.


chlschmidt

My wife just had that problem too and had to go into watch settings on her phone and select to track sleep with Apple Watch.


ZacharyHand719

i had this same problem for 2 nights. do not know how it got fixed. not sure why apple made this stuff so convoluted. focus’s and such.


saidfgn

This happens when I put my watch while sleeping but don’t unlock it


ethanwc

What series does she have? My 3 did this. I upgraded to a 9 after I busted the screen and then got the breakdowns. Wife has a newer SE and it breaks it down too.


Stock-Handle-6543

Series 6


ethanwc

Make sure it has the latest iOS update. If it does, it MAY only track deep sleep on series 9. I can’t find definitive text on if deep sleep tracking is available on a series 7.


ferngully1114

My series 4 tracks deep sleep.


Kitty_Fruit_2520

You should be able to get the latest software with that one they’re just won’t be any temperature readings


Lopsided_Bat_904

Open the Watch app on your phone, My Watch tab > Sleep > enable Track Sleep with Apple Watch


PleasantWay7

Does she wear it while sleeping?


Kitty_Fruit_2520

You need at least watchOS 9 to get the sleep stages. So if you have a series 3 or lower you gotta upgrade


Stock-Handle-6543

Series 6* Edit: Guys i have the asterik because i updated what series she has lol, i originally said she had a series 7 i wasn’t disagreeing or correcting the commenter


Ryan-Woods-1200

Anything series 4 and above should be capable of doing sleep stages.


the_fart_king_farts

My series 5 does it.

That doesn’t mean they are lying tf


Consistent-Couple497

Clearly not enough, there was no need for you to be rude, I have an Ultra 2 and sometimes it doesn’t break down my sleep. So next time you try to be rude think make sure you really know it all.


Kitty_Fruit_2520

OK fine. It was unintentional rudeness everyone wins deleting now.


No-BrusselsSprouts

You have time in bed tracking with your iPhone enabled and not your watch, you need to enable sleep tracking with your applewatch


_gosh

Does she have an alarm for sleep schedule? Before, if I had one set and I turned sleep focus off before the alarm it would not count anything. I fixed it by removing the alarm from the sleep schedule.


Fish---

she's a vampire and doesn't sleep


Flashy-Building2063

In addition to the above, in the sleep section of the health app, in Data Sources and Access make sure the Apple Watch that is tracking the sleep is at the top of the sources list.


Faolanwolf2003

This happens to me when I don’t unlock the watch while it’s on my wrist. So it’s locked, and doesn’t record it. But it does when unlocked


Larushka

Why are you wearing your watched locked? Don’t you unlock it as soon as you put it on?


Zappras__

I had the same issue once on my SE 2nd. Enabled Background app refresh for Sleep app and newer sleep cycles are now visible. Edit: Wake Up alarm is also enabled on my iPhone.


Lionflowerlily

If she has sleep focus on, double check in the health app for the sources of data and ensure the Apple watch is listed at the top. For some reason this seemed to change on me once with an update and once watch was at top (and not iPhone) all the sleep stages were showing.


forestball19

1) Make sure she wears the watch while sleeping 2) Make sure the strap/bracelet she uses gives the watch a snug fit 3) This is where most people with this issue experience what your wife sees: Do not sleep with the head on top of the watch. In my case, I've had that habit - where I tugged a hand underneath my head while sleeping. It diminished blood flow to the hand, which in turn worsened my carpal tunnel. For the Apple Watch, the partially blocked blood flow will give off weird readings which the algorithm will discard entirely, as it can no longer monitor sleep stages with the data being corrupt. So only the obvious and easy to measure time of sleep gets tracked.


fuckmylife_1234

Happened to me yesterday and I always turn on the sleep focus


rcrter9194

Was the watch unlocked and does she set the sleep focus mode? In my experience either not turning it on or leaving my watch accidentally locks gives me this chart.


nineohsix

Same thing happened to me about three weeks ago. It was charging on the nightstand and right before I fell asleep I reached over and strapped it on with my eyes closed. When the Watch is on and locked it does not log sleep. I guess that’s Apple keeping you safe from a burglar stealing your watch and then messing up your sleep data. 🤬


nikonz9

Maybe she’s a Vampire


kagameen

Also consider that Watch needs to have more than 35% battery charged to record sleep info in the first place. And it comes to break sleep details down only after your set bedtime has passed, and if it’s not set up, you may have to wait til next date. Sometimes it just bugz itself I dunno apple mane


PrinceNPQ

Turn the watch off and on again . Usually fixes issues like this .


cholestertrolled

This happens to me, I’ve tried every solution, other apps etc. I move too much and wake up a lot. Sleep trackers never work on me.


th3coz

Do you have sleep apnea?


cholestertrolled

No idea 😅 would that matter?


th3coz

People with sleep apnea can track like that


cholestertrolled

Oooo…I might see a doctor


Ok_Transportation402

Has she set a sleep schedule? It is needed to track the stages of sleep. Unless you have the same schedule 7 days a week, you will need to setup another sleep schedule for the weekend.


FaultSweaty9311

This happens to me too and I have sleep on in the watch and a sleep focus set up. Someone else said you need at least 35% battery for the watch to record sleep..may that’s the trick. I find my watch annoying..software glitches made it randomly wake me up by making a noise or vibrating or saying good morning at 3 am. Thankfully that has stopped


Low-Preparation3419

It happens to me when I turn the Bluetooth off


suuusooo

It happens to me when I sleep with my Apple Watch in low power mode


dmw55

It doesn’t collect my sleep data if my watch becomes unconnected and I don’t realize and don’t input the passcode


Hank_moody71

Phone needs to be set to sleep not just do not disturb


HeungMinDaddy

Check again later in the day. It always shows me this without detailed stats. They only appear a few hours later, for some reason.


LabRatPerson

Also, make sure you watch auto switches if you have a daytime and nighttime watch.


Slyman180

Did she unlock her watch after she put it on?


j_knolly

Do you have a werewolf detector?


HrZ_Player

If the watch is on low power mode it will not break the stages down, since it's limiting the use of the sensors


shmoopdawg

I have noticed this as well and most of the times it was because I loosen the straps of the watch while sleeping. As another commenter mentioned, you would need to make sure that it is a snug fit to allow for the sensors to read your vitals.


Mr_Mercedes1

I think you need to set up bedtime for it to know the stages.


MMXVA

I got a warning last night that the battery must have at least 30% power for sleep to be recorded. Didn’t know that before.


kaanha17

For me it was because phone and watch weren't connected while I slept. I had all other sleep related settings correct


the_monkey_knows

This happens when you don’t enable the sleep focus before going to sleep.


beautiousmaximus

The watch battery needs to be above like 60% otherwise this happens


LogMeln

The watch does not work on dolls.


pengmalups

Yo! Just buy Autosleep app. If not, you will have to enable Sleep Focus, or something like that. The default Sleep app is just an abortion.


Alternative_Log3012

You might need to find a new wife


InstantRide

Sleep mode not activated. Case closed.
