Ability to change "Sleep Goal" from 8 hours

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!

Maybe if they actually got their 8 hours of sleep they wouldn't be so cranky about it ;)

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.

+1 I also want the ability to set a custom sleep goal. It's December 31st 2021 and your competitors offer this feature, Garmin.

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.

This 3 year old thread just sent me to sleep for 8 hours, thanks people!

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.

Assume this is still not an available feature - disappointing
