Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic Sleep Tracking Not Working, Is There Any Fix?

Samsung recently refreshed its watch lineup with the Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic release. It is arguably the best Android smartwatch that one can buy right now. One of the prominent features that we find in most capable smartwatches is the sleep tracking feature. However, some Samsung Watch 6 and 6 Classic users have recently reported that the feature is not working properly on their devices.

This is not evident across all Samsung Watch 6 devices, though. Only a handful of them have reported this. So, it isn’t easy to understand the cause behind it. However, we have had people providing solutions to the problem on forums, and we have compiled all of that for you in one place. So, without any further ado, let’s get into it.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 and 6 Classic Sleep Tracking Not Working, Is There Any Fix?

When users check their watch in the morning to check their sleep information, the watch shows a screen that reads, “Were You Asleep?” So, the watch cannot even record whether the user is asleep.

Some users could fix this with a simple restart, while some had to change their permissions list. There are also users for whom resetting the watch did the trick. It is not possible to mention one solution here. We will mention multiple solutions here. Try one after the other until you find the one that works for you.

Clean the sensor area:

Your smartwatch being able to capture your body’s live data while sleeping depends entirely on the sensors on the back of your smartwatch that are constantly touching your skin. With time, debris could get collected over it, and that could cause issues with the sleep tracking feature.

So, use a dry cloth and properly wipe the sensor area. You can even use some isopropyl alcohol for this.
