In a country far far away, there was a company called Garmin wich started sleep tracking on their devices like (I believe) the Fenix 3.
In those dark days, you had to enable it by hand. It also accounted naps in those days and was able to handle sleep tracking for brave, shift working mankind. It was even able to handle messed up sleep times of hero like firefighters or medics. Naps could be added in Garmin Connect Mobile afterwards if wished.
After a while, a brave young hero on a shining white horse brought them automatic tracking. It was pure genius and worked like a charm, at least for office workers with the same sleep time every night. After a small uproar, in the darkest corners of the Garmin watch menus another manual tracking option was implemented which was witched away in the next generation.
Now, the brave young hero is another old man and rediscovered the joys of naps, spread over the day.
How can he do it?
I hope some Garmin people are watching the forums:
Not everybody is in the same position like you and is able to sleep overnight at the same time. Removing features was not the best for sleep tracking. yes, we have nice graphs now. Wow! Im impressed. Im not impressed because the numbers don't match.
But doesn't matter, its the same like treadmill running: Garmin believes it is not important to deliver matching numbers. People don't care if they ran 12 or 14km. And they also don't care if the sleep tracker tracks 6 or 3 hours of their 7 hours sleep.
