To do data logging with Fenix Sleep you need to do the following ..

- Connect your Fenix to your computer via your USB charging cable. Sorry, it must be a computer, smartphones will not work.
- Navigate to the Garmin\Apps\Logs folder
- Create a text file named the same as your Fenix Sleep program file. See details below.
- Exit .. and enjoy.
- Your pertinent Fenix Sleep data will now be logged upon exiting Fenix Sleep to that file.

Note .. the data is in the following format (CSV format):

The data is as follows ..

Date, Minimum HR value, Maximum HR value, Average HR value

2016/12/16,45,74,56

You can use a program like Excel (or any of your choosing) to analyze or manipulate your data should you desire.

Note .. DO NOT delete that file, as the Fenix will not recreate it, but will skip the data logging if it is not there. You should not have to recreate it if the Fenix Sleep version changes as the program name should remain the same.

Re the Fenix Sleep file .. when you connect to your Fenix, it may look like this. The photo below is the Garmin\Apps folder. Note the NAME of the Fenix Sleep prg file as you will need this for your data logging. I know it says .. 'VivoactiveHR' but I do not own a Fenix , the procedure will be identical.

You need to name the text file the same as the PRG file for Fenix Sleep. The best way to tell which one it is, probably by the date / time of your Fenix Sleep install.

So for the above .. you would need to name your data logging text file as 6C5G5419.txt
This text file goes into the GARMIN\APPS\LOGS folder

You can test it by running the application .. it will create a log in the text file upon displaying the summary screen.

Sorry .. there is no way around this. The steps we need to go through for our data. :)
Enjoy

I was just about to start writing a sleep app for the Fenix 3 to display total/light sleep/deep sleep and awake time, but while trying to figure out if I can get any access to accelerometer data (or better: level of activity), I found your app.

Now I wonder, is the reason that the Sleep app with restoring & non-restoring sleep is only available for the Vivoactive HR, that you can't access that data on the Fenix 3?

Edit: I can't find any way to access accelerometer or derived data from it (other than steps) on the Fenix 3. :(

I do not use accelerometer data at all in my sleep apps .. they are based 100% on HR data only. In fact you will likely notice that almost all my apps are HR based (all except one I believe).

I have never seen that type of data being available to Connect IQ but I may be wrong on that one. I only do it for the Vivoactive HR as that is the only Garmin model that I own.

You are in luck .. I have some time and will do it for you tonight. I will submit it to Garmin later today.
I am going to make a new app .. cause unlike everyone else here I do not develop for multiple devices generally (and mostly do it for the Vivoactive HR only). So I tend to just make a new app which is easier for me. The only thing .. I do not own a Fenix 5x, so I have to rely on the simulator but I do not expect any issues with this app.

- Changed pause screen text to make it more clear.
