feature-request: add sleep data to the sdk (2025)

Please add sleep related data to the SDK so apps/widgets can read the sleep data (similar to ActivityMonitor.getBodyBatteryHistory(),at least the stages with the timestamps, maybe also the aggregated time for the stages and the sleep score)

I opened this "new" request as requested by and as a continuation of https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/i/bug-reports/feature-request-add-sleep-data-to-the-sdk .

If you're interested in this feature, please up-vote this.

  • My old galaxy fit was able to record every nap/sleep accurately with its 6 years old sensor. I think I will get the next galaxy watch if they push it to 4 days...

  • If anyone does, I'll move too. But after my research, the only one that does this plus on-wrist workouts is the apple brand, and for that you need to marry all the apple devices. Plus, I'm not 100% sure if you can customize workouts like in Garmin. So, for now, I think we are stuck, and Garmin probably knows that.

  • I'm pretty sure there are even some with cheap sensors. I don't have any experience with any of them though, their accuracy or usefulness may vary.

    I think Garmin knows they have a problem here and probably they estimate it riskier to add a half baked feature that half of the users will want to use, than to not have it (yet?). Look at their sleep data. They can't even detect when you sleep. When it looks like they do, then check if it is really detected, or they just assume you went to sleep at the time that is set as sleep time in the settings...
