Tips to Enhance Sleep Tracking on iPhone Running iOS 14 or Later
So, what could be preventing the built-in sleep tracker from recording data accurately? From what I can tell after taking a close look at how the sleep tracking feature works and used it to keep a tab on my sleep ever since it was available in the iOS 14 beta, it could be due to a miscellaneous glitch or too many distractions.
Besides, I won’t completely rule out the possibility of a rare bug that may be hindering the sleep tracker. Taking all these things into account, I have suggested solutions that could prove to be helpful in troubleshooting the mess.
The very first solution that I would suggest you try is to hard reset your device. More often than force restart works in fixing random issues that seem to crop up out of nowhere. So, it would be wise to give it a shot first up.

Note:
Though there is no denying the fact that the built-in sleep tracker works quite well in tracking the sleep, I don’t think it’s flawless.

To do it, launch theHealth appon youriPhone -> Browse -> Sleep -> Add Data. Now, enter the sleep data and then make sure to tap onDoneat the top right corner of the screen to finish.
If the sleep tracker just doesn’t seem to work as expected, there is no harm in updating the software. I guess the problem could be due to a rare bug that might be preventing it from working properly.
As software update often fixes random/miscellaneous issues, you can count on it to sort out this problem as well. To do it, launch theSettings app on your iPhone -> General -> Software Update. Now, hit theDownload and Installoption to update the software on your iOS device as usual.
Hopefully, these tips have helped the sleep tracking feature to work normally on your iPhone. If they have, let me know the trick that fixed the issue. Besides, if there is any other solution that works well in terms of sorting out this problem, I would be glad to know that as well.
