Apple Watch says I'm asleep long after I get out of bed

Once every week or two, my watch says I was asleep for several hours after I actually got out of bed, e.g. when I was in the kitchen having breakfast and reading the news. My wife is having the exact same problem. Mine is an iWatch 9, brand new. Yes, I read all the other advice in these forums, and everything is configured correctly

Sometimes my Sleep App does this as well, if my heart rate drops near the resting heart rate, while sitting in a chair, reading or browsing the internet.

Could be related to the new watchOS feature which is supposed to detect if you are taking a nap.


If you think that this needs a little more fine tuning, you can tell them directly by using the Feedback link.

This is the only way to make them aware of watchOS issues.
