Sleep tracking not working properly since update

Hi, wondering if anyone else is having this.

Since the update to register REM sleep, my watch now stops my sleep time if I wake up during the night. If I wake up and get out of bed to use the bathroom, in the morning my sleep will have ended at that time.

It's happened the last two nights - my sleep ending at 01:30, and 03:20, both times I know I got out of bed. This didn't happen before, I would just get the indications that I had spent time awake, but it would show when I went back to sleep and registered my real waking up in the morning accurately.

I suspect that there's something going on, as I don't get move alerts during this time (unless these are automatically turned off during the sleeping hours set in the watch?).

Right now the only solution I can think of is to not make the walk to the bathroom, but I don't think the girlfriend would be too happy about that :rolleyes:
  • I have a Vivosmart 5 also. I have given up on the VS5 sleep tracking and what it does to the other stats. I have turned off the HR tracking and just use it as a step tracker around my ankle when I'm mowing the lawn or other things where my arm is not moving enough to get steps. Yes - an expensive step counter, but I use the Venu 2 as the primary device now and would never again use the Vivosmart 5 for health related stats. IMHO the Vivosmart 4 that my wife and stepson have is a better device for sleep tracking, but it has faults also - Sleep Pulse Ox for exampe.
