Apple Watch Sleep Tracking Issue

[Kafila]

Hey everyone! I've got the Apple Watch model A2774, version 9.6, and I've been using it for about 2 months. Lately, it hasn't been recording my sleep, even though it's fully charged. Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips or solutions would be awesome!! Thanks!
