Charging reminders
It's important to make sure your Apple Watch is charged to at least 30% before you go to bed if you want to track your sleep. If your watch battery dies, it won't be able to track your sleep data. One way to do this is to charge your watch for around 30 minutes before bed. This will ensure your watch has enough battery to track your sleep, without compromising your sleep tracking or workout routine.
You can also set up a sleep schedule on your Apple Watch, which includes a bedtime reminder. This will remind you to start winding down before bed and can also turn on Sleep Focus, which limits distractions. When you create a sleep schedule, you can also set a sleep goal, which is the number of hours of sleep you want to get.
By using charging reminders and keeping your Apple Watch charged, you can ensure that it will be able to track your sleep data effectively.

Sleep schedules
In addition to setting a sleep goal, you can also set a wind-down time, which is the time you start preparing for bed. The Apple Watch will remind you to charge your watch before your wind-down time and notify you when your watch is fully charged. It is recommended that your Apple Watch is charged to at least 30% before you go to bed to ensure that it can track your sleep.
To track your sleep, simply wear your Apple Watch to bed for at least one hour. Make sure that the watch fits comfortably on your wrist. If it is too loose, the accelerometer may register too much movement during your natural sleep, interfering with the accuracy of the sleep tracking.
In the morning, you can view your sleep data in the Health app on your iPhone. This includes the amount of sleep you got the night before, the time spent in each sleep stage, and your sleep average over the last 14 days.
