isleep score not syncing from Apple Watch to new iPhone 18

Since getting the iPhone 18 my sleep score will not sync from my Apple Watch to my phone. All other health and fitness data syncs with no issues at all. I have tried unpairing and re-pairing the watch and restarting both devices. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you see your Apple Watch under the Apple Health App on your iPhone as shown in Steps 7 and 8? See the pic below, which is self-explanatory

To get the most accurate results when wearing your watch to sleep: --> Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)

  • Turn on Charging Reminders. On your iPhone, open the Watch app and tap the My Watch tab, then tap Sleep. Tap Charging Reminders to turn on a reminder on your Apple Watch to charge before your Wind Down time. If your watch battery dies, it won't track your sleep data.
  • Make sure that you're wearing your Apple Watch at a comfortable fit. If your watch is too loose, the accelerometer may register too much movement during your natural sleep.



  1. Sleep is not available on watches that were set up using Apple Watch For Your Kids (formerly known as Family Setup).
  2. Respiratory Rate is not available for users under 13 years old.
