Can sleep tracking record more than 1 period of sleep in a 24hr period?

My fenix 5 plus only records the 3 hours of sleep I get during a normal night period and doesn't record the second period of sleep I get in the day which is normally also between 3-4 hours long. Is there a setting I can change to allow both periods to be recorded?

    Try changing the start and end of the Sleep Time parameter in the device settings to cover all day (i.e. 0:00 - 23:59). Not sure whether it helps with multiple periods of sleep, but it does help if your sleep time is irregular (i.e. at shift workers).

    Unfortunately changing the sleep parameters didn't record a second period of sleep during the day Pensive

    Garmin Connect does not support more than one sleep per day.

    This is such ludicrous. I just got my first Garmin watch (5th lifetime Garmin product) and honestly this is the biggest reason I would not recommend it to a friend looking for a personal health wearable.  This is such  low hanging fruit for Garmin to correct.  Somebody should get fired for it not being fixed after X years....

    What happens to meis that I tend to fall asleep in front of the TV. Then I wake up and get into bed. Typically, sleep tracking doesn't recognize it and only picks up one of the segments. What I do is extend the hours I sleep to include both. The result is that I pick up all my sleep hours but with a large awake period in the middle.

    Even with that, I'm not a big fan of the sleep tracking results I get.
