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.

    There is another very useful case for "smart wake": Breaking the excessive REM sleep for people suffering from depression.

    Might sound nasty being woken in the middle of a dream, but if the other outcome is the person keep on dreaming violently until something wild happens in the dream, then maybe a gentle tap on the wrist is not so bad.... 

    See: https://youtu.be/MA3Pc22WmwQ Old video, but still relevant. And nevermind the hair :-) 

    A lot of people get depression. Some 30% of women and 20% of men is expected to encounter is during their life.
