Sleep Tracking not getting total sleep amount

If I am on call, and have to get up to do some work after sleeping 4 hours, then go back to sleep it only seems to count the 4 hours or 2-3 hours sleep, not the total amount. Same with taking a nap, it just does not count it. How can I trust the body battery, or recovery information, if the software can not even keep up with my total sleep time. I have a Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2 47mm.

  • Hi, I am in the same situation, sleep time tracking does not work.. and we pay for that.

    Same, I have a Garmin Epix Pro Gen 2.

    Time to time it does not count the right starting time, saying 0:30 AM for example when the real timing is 10:30 PM the day before. Who is taking care of us by Garmin ?? 

    please help us.

  • Body battery doesn't care about sleep. 

    Recovery time is affected by the sleep tracking.

    Garmin can only count one sleep period per day so if you get up and stop the sleep tracking it will either not track the next sleep period or overwrite the first sleep period. Make sure you don't end sleep mode when you get up for work. Just don't touch the watch at all.

    This is what Garmin writes about naps:

    "Naps can get tracked automatically without being put into Nap Mode if there is a long enough period of inactivity, but the preferred method is to trigger a nap manually for best results."

    So, trigger the naps manually.

  • If I may, you are wrong. you cannot say only one sleep period per day. 

    Each day you will have two sleep periods: the first part is the end of the previous night ,  the second sleep period is the start of the next  night.

    A couple of months ago it worked correctly, since April or may It does not work perfectly. 

    Maybe there is an impact of the nap when it occurs. I will track that. 

  • That is only if I go to sleep before midnight, which I never said I do. Not everyone keeps a standard schedule. All of my sleep is in one 24 hour period between 0:01 and 23:59
