Adding Sleep Category to Garmin Connect/Garmin Edge 530

I use my Garmin Edge 530 to record my heart rate while sleep and to record how long I slept.

Can Garmin please add this to Garmin Connect and add it to Garmin Edge 530 type devices. I use the data not just to tell what my next workout should be like but I also want to share the data with my doctor who needs a "general picture" to see what my heart is doing.

Also is it possible to share the data just as I would with MS Drive and Google Drive? With MS and Google you can send a link to whom ever and they can only see what's in the link. I am sure this would be of benefit in other situations.

I would be able to share the data with those not subscribed to GC and limit what I share.

I hope you can make this a reality.

You can achieve what you are asking for (both, recording the HR during the sleep, and sharing it with others), in the following way:

Create a custom activity profile on your Edge, called for example "Sleep". You can disable the GPS in that profile, to save the battery
Start the Sleep activity when going to bed, and stop it when waking up
Sync the device
You can now view the detailed HR in Garmin Connect, and you can share the sleep "activity" with your doctor as well

Better yet, get a watch supporting the advanced sleep analysis and PulseOx. The sleep analysis then includes also breathing patterns, O₂ saturtion levels, sleep stages (deep / light / REM / ... ), the movements, and also the stress levels. Possibly more valuable data for your doc, I'd tell.
