Sleep tracking bugs

Hi,

My Garmin Fenix 5 plus has issues tracking my sleep. To summarize:

1. It doesn't consider sleeping during the day as sleep even if I sleep for 4 hours.

2. Last night, my battery went off around 5 am, so I put my watch on charge when I woke up and only wore it again around 9:30 am. My Connect app recorded all this time as a deep sleep!

Is anyone seeing the same behavior?

Yeah, I've seen similar. If I sleep a bit at the beginning of the night, and then wake up for an hour or 2 before dropping back off, the first period of sleep is not registered. Seems that the algorithm is too dumb to include periods of sleep separated by extended waking periods.

Yes, same here. The sleep tracking of the F5+ is unreliable.
