Sleep data doesn’t make sense

Actually, I think I might have found the answer.
It looks as the analysis stopped the moment I turned off the morning wake alarm, and ignored completely the fact that I spent another hour or so in bed, sleeping.
This being the case it is all a bit artificial as it never really reflects my actual sleeping patterns, or at least only up to the point when I decide to switch off the alarm and carry on sleeping.
This sounds like a bug to me. How is anybody meant to deal with this?
I can hear you all screaming “who on earth can do that on a regular basis?”
I am a semi retired musician, currently dealing with Covid, so there.

It's not a bug, well not from the point of view that it's broken. It will think you are awake even though you fell asleep if you turned alarm off. Hopefully in the future they will improve the logarithm that determines sleep vs awake and still. If you plan to sleep later, you want a later alarm or maybe use snooze.
If you watch DC Rainmaker on YouTube he covers this in his comparison with Garmin which was able to detect going back to bed.

But the curious thing is that it recorded the bed time correctly, including the time after I switched off the alarm.
That being the case, if it knew I was in bed, what was I doing? I was either Awake, REM, Core or Deep.
If it records the bed time, it should also record what I was doing, no? That is surely a bug.
Apple's sleep data has look like this (time in bed not a summation of awake/asleep time) since they introduced it, and I've never understood it. It always seemed pretty accurate for my actual time asleep, however.
