DND mode - can't set hours manually

For a long time I was able to set DND start/end hours manually but recently (last 2-3 weeks?) the option seems to be gone and my watch started to vibrate until late at night (I had DND from 20:00 to 8:00 next day so I had "calm evening" without notifications). After some digging it seems that Garmin decided to be "smar" and activates DND only while detecting that I'm asleep (and I can set "sleep window hours") which is sorta dumb (well, if someone wants to be constantly connected until very last moment than it may be fine, but I'd argue it's quite awful for mental higiene and health). Is there an option to bring it back? For now it seems that the only way is to completely disable notifications, which is sorta also dumb... :/

    You can enable DND while sleeping, and the DND mode will be on during your standard sleeping hours. You can adjust those in your User Settings. As far as I remember, it was always working in this way.

    Well, I said just as much in the post. What I'm asking is it possible to set DND hours manually that extend beyond sleeping hours - let's say I have sleeping hours set from 23:30 to 6:30 but I would like to have DND activated from 20:0 to 8:0.

    I'm fairly certain that it was possible before and I had it set that way thus after 20:00 in the evening the watch wasn't buzzing but I wasn't asleep yet and it changed recently as the watch kept buzzing late into the night. Of course my memory can be playing tricks on me here as well :-)

    Why you don't simply extend the sleep hours?

    Because (I assume) that would break (or at least influence/skew) sleep detection functionality?

    No, it would not. I have my sleep hours from 22:00 to 10:00, although I rarely sleep more than 7 hours, and rarely get to the bed before midnight. The sleep is being detected accurately anyway.

    So why not name it "DND time" as it seems it's not taken into consideration at all? o_O

    It is taken in consideration for the sleep detection. The sleep is being detected within the given time frame, but it in no way means that the watch will detect the sleep at 22:00, even if you do not sleep at all, just because you've set it up as the bed time. It starts polling for signs of sleep at that time, and will start recording the sleep only when it really detects it.
