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.

    Why do you think this would consume so much more power? My Fenix7X already measure HRV, heart beats, etc. while sleeping and stays on for 10 days. Smart wake implies you define a timeframe of say 30min where you would like to be waken up in a light sleep; so if then it would consume more power during those 30min if it wants to be really accurate. But 30-70%? Please explain.

    I'm software engineer, too. It won't take that much energy to run smart wake alarm based on specified timerange, since almost every measure is already taken continuously. Garmin just doesn't take care of what its users are demanding. That's all (imo)
