I've been wearing my Ultra every night since Friday and still no wirst temperature. What am I doing wrong?

Temps started Saturday night. And no, I am not going to enable menstrual cycling.
 
Shown this topic to my wife….. We are both in our mid-seventies.
As I was expecting; she gave me one of those looks as if to say “bloody @?%&!@“……

Then she said it precisely,
“We have 3 kids and 7 grandkids…. Not one of us worried about body temperature. Everyone these days think we need something just to tell us what our normal bodies do every day”.
 
I don't use any of those features. Do I need to enable them?
To use the wrist temperature, you have to enable Sleep focus mode. It's really easy to use. You set a sleep schedule and it automatically turns on at the time you set it for every evening.

The Health App on the iPhone will show the wrist temperature measurement.

In case nobody else knew (like me until today😂) you can actually check the actual temperature reading in the health app as well. When you’re in wrist temperature you scroll to the bottom and click “show all data” and then click into whichever day. The temperature reading is at the top. I think that’s a nifty feature. I’m guessing it’s an average of your temperature overnight since I’m sure it does multiple readings but nice to be able to see.

To be fair, we just spent 2 years in a pandemic, where the early strains typically presented with flu like symptoms (including fever). So, Apple has responded by including O2 stats (another major issue with patients with COVID) and finally temperature.

I work in a hospital, and have an 11 month old baby in daycare, be both are temperature screened daily.
