Apple Watch SE recorded no sleep data last night

I’ve been using my Apple Watch SE to track sleep for a few months now with no issues (was previously a Fitbit user). However, last night, it showed no sleep data when I woke up. I have a sleep schedule set from 9:50pm-6:50am with no alarm set on the watch, but an alarm set on my phone for 6:35am. I have the sleep schedule set for longer than when my phone alarm goes off because I had gotten the “it looks like you’re awake” haptic on my watch one morning TEN minutes before my alarm went off. Called Apple Support and they weren’t much help. Just told me to unpair and repair my watch. No idea what was different last night? Watch was not locked, was in sleep mode because I manually turn sleep mode off in the mornings. Any ideas as to why this happened? Do you think the unpair/repair fix Apple Support suggested will help?

If the same settings worked in the past, did you try jut to force restart your watch and iPhone?

You will not lose data by force restarting your devices.

To force restart your watch, press and hold the Digital Crown and Side button together for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again.

To force restart your iPhone Press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button.

Then press and hold the side button until the Apple logo appears and release the Side button.
