Feature request: smart wake alarm depending on sleep cycle

Please could you looking into developing a native smart wake alarm just like FitBit has been doing since 2020.

The article below sums up the situation really well.

Sleep is so important for any sports enthusiast and in my opinion this is litterally the missing piece of the wellness / recovery puzzle in Garmin wearables.

    As a Garmin developer I was early awaiting the venu 3, but seeing that it still lacks this functionality I won't be buying the watch. My years old Fitbit sense is an OLED watch with multi day battery that has this (and call) functionality.

    Without first party support for this, it falls on developers to create imperfect solutions that don't work with body battery. And the funny thing is, the body battery data ~already contains~ the data necessary to support this. I can't imagine this is a patent issue, possibly a lack of on team expertise on HRV?
