Though we can easily set up the sleep tracking on the Apple Watch, you can more smoothly perform it on an iPhone. You have to make a proper check that the iPhone is on the version of iOS 14 or more than that.
It should have watchOS 7 or more than that. If these versions are not there, then the sleep tracking will not be accessed.

Step 7
When you are performing the customization of the schedules, do the scrolling down of the screen and then set there the Sleep Goal, Wind Down, and the settings of Wind Down Shortcuts. For proceeding further, click on the Options there.

If the Series is of 4 or 5 then it can work for more at night if it is charged for a bit in a day. But with series 3, the requirement is for a full charge of it.
In the Sleep Mode, we have to perform the turning of the digital crown for unlocking the watch. It is the same as when you come out of the water after swimming.
