Is this setting even in use? There's no data source attached to it
I don't know how AW is supposed to be able to track that? no sensor for all I know. There might be 3rd accessories that can?
if that's a concern for you, contact Apple and ask them

Apple has the setting for a reason but I'm good.
 
Yea that's the only one so it's weird. Not sure why it's there if there's no control or use of it
So it’s for tracking purposes, either manually or by some 3rd party device. Health app for example lets you track blood pressure and the AW can’t do that.
If you want to learn more I’d suggest to contact Apple

Exactly this. It’s really just a tag that can be applied to a database entry. You’ll find a great deal of such if you go to Health => Browse and start clicking. For example, “Other Data” has the option to track some very intimate activities that one really, really hopes the watch never gains the ability to automatically monitor. Or even just body measurements — how is a watch supposed to get your waist circumference, let alone vision prescription?

I would expect that there’s likely an app which is intended to assist in tracking symptoms which will manage maintaining night sweats records for you — but, if so, it’ll work by prompting you in the morning to tell the app about it, not by automatically figuring out if you experienced them or not.

Even if not, and this is something you’re concerned about or that your physician has told you to log, you can always manually “add data” (upper right corner) rather than scribble something on a notepad.
