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.

    After ordering the Instinct 2 Solar, I checked the watch's manual while waiting for delivery and realized that it does not have a smart alarm feature. I am shocked. This is such a basic feature that I did not even think to check for it before buying. Unfortunately, I thought I had finally found the perfect watch that meets all of my needs, but this is a deal-breaker for me. I think I will cancel my order and look for alternatives.

    I agree. Have a brand new Venu 3 and can’t believe Garmin doesn’t use the information the watch already gathers from my sleep cycles to wake me up in a pre-defined window, allowing me the best start in the day. I expected this feature as standard and would use it daily. It worked well on the Withings watch I tested, but returned because I missed too many Garmin features, all but Smart Alarm. Please implement asap!
