Sleep Tracking - how difficult can it be?

Dear Garmin,

as a Software Developer I am asking myself how difficult it can be to add a rule that stops sleep tracking after waking up and playing with the app? Today again it added one hour of sleep after I woke up at 5:50, checking my values in the app, getting 2 coffees and sitting in bed for another hour. It added one hour of REM and light sleep and I was obviously not sleeping. It does not require AI to figure out that I was not sleeping.

    The app is not logging anything now. It is all about the devices. Starting to add rules that the app should be used will change a lot in how the logging works.

    Did you use the Connect app all the time? If not then it shouldn't stop the sleep. Just add it as awake time during the period you were moving around. Lots of people use their phones in the morning and then continue to sleep.

    Well it is obvious that the app does not log anything, that is one of my complaints. Even the device (955) recognized that I did not sleep any longer. Otherwise the 955 shows „sleeping“ and you can manually stop it. During this hour I went to the bathroom brushed my teeth, got coffee, went to bed playing with the app for about 5 minutes, got up for another coffee, played with the app again… 1 hour of continuous REM sleep was added, sleepscore went from 92 to 89.

    But thanks for pointing out that I can edit the result!

    The score went back up :-)

    When you wake up and do not plan going to sleep again, you can stop the Sleep Mode, or start an Activity - on most watches it prompts you whether you want to stop monitoring the sleep. Just log a short morning routine or a yoga session, and it will hard-stop the sleep even if the auto-detection of the waking up fails for some reason.
