Ability to change "Sleep Goal" from 8 hours
Former Member
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!
I think the point has been missed. It’s not about setting the hours you sleep and getting a tick so you’re proud of getting a green tick. It’s about quality of sleep. You should be able to set the number of hours of REM and Deep sleep as target. That’s what counts.
I agree, I would like the ability to change my sleep goal. I was a bit surprised that Garmin doesn't let you, I know Fitbit does. (I don't miss the fitbit "score" on your sleep, though.) Thank you for researching this, Addihul.
It is very important to be able to get a tick for the number of hours we sleep. After all, unless we get positive reinforcement from a gadget, our lives are useless. Disregard it’s the quality of sleep that counts, not the length; there’s no target for quality so it can’t be important.
