I did some research on this and apparently the 8 hour sleep goal is hard coded in. You can change your 'normal wake/bed time' in User Settings but it does NOT change your sleep goal. I realize 8 hours is an age old standard, but not having the ability to change this is very frustrating. The only time I sleep 8 hours is when I'm sick. A lot of us live healthy lives on way less than that, thus we should have the ability to change it like we can our step goals. Thanks!
Seems more than 3 years later and garmin hasn't added this low-hanging-fruit of a feature... However, they recently updated the ability for the software to track broken sleep sessions (newborn in the house), which is a much bigger improvement to the sleep software capability. It's very nice not having to change the sleep period manually after every fractured night. I haven't tested it with naps though.
I would like the feature added to adjust even if it is only by an hour. Maybe it could be an automatic based on individual sleeping habits within a healthy minimum and maximum
i would definitely like to see the ability to change the sleep goal. I feel great with 7 hours sleep and it is very irritating to have my watch tell me I did not reach my 'goal'.
I would very much like to have the ability to change the sleep goal. I do great on seven hours of sleep and it is very irritating to have my watch tell me I did not reach my sleep 'goal'.
This is a feature that definitely needs implementing so that the sleep goal is customisable. I would imagine this would be relatively easy to make the hard coded 8 a dynamic value?!
Is this on the Garmin backlog to fix as it's currently not a good user experience for customers fixed to 8.
I recently switched from Fit-Bit to Garmin and I am quite disappointed with the Garmin software. Being able to set personal goals...ALL personal goals...should be just a given in my opinion. Fit-Bit certainly didn’t have a problem with it. AND for Garmin to make such a small software change really shouldn’t take so long. I realize that they can’t jump & instantly change that. But it could have already been done!!! If others don’t want to change their 8 hour goal they should also have the option to leave it alone.
