Any way to start and stop sleep manually

With my 920XT I liked the accuracy of being able to start and stop the sleep tracking manually.

Is there any trick to doing that with the Fenix 5X? Is there something I did not catch in the directions?

The automatic has not been very accurate for me - example is that it said I went to bed last night at 9:58 but actually went to bed at 12:20, it did get my wake up right this morning.

It is easy ,guys. After you woke up, you could edit sleeping times on Garmin Connect Mobile.

1- Go to sleep menu.
2- Tap on day of sleep which you want to edit.
3- On the top right, there is a edit button.

Let me know ,if it is ok.

It does not work for naps.

This is cumbersome if you are not on a regular schedule. I mean you could do that. But then again, you could also just get a notebook and write it down.

No, you don't need to notebook. Jusy guess when you slept. After editing, you should see graphic, sleep or moving. You can edit again.
I think it is not a big deal. It is enough.

I'm quite happy with the sleep data from my F5X but it is sometimes off and I do correct the data through GS website. However, I do not always remember exactly at what time I slept especially when I do not connect to the website for a few days (weekends or holidays).

The option to indicate manually when you are going to sleep and when yo wake up seems easy to implement (I understand it was on already the F3) and a nice to have basic feature. It is strange that Garmin decided to take it out of the F5.

+1 - I have to edit my sleep times every morning

I would *LOVE* to be able to go Activities > Go to sleep from my watch instead of the auto detection, which I have to edit every single morning.

Used to be able to do this on my old MS Band - could hit sleep and then wake 'button' rather than rely on the band guessing.

Absolutely. I've been using the sleep function and "editing" my sleep on GC most mornings, but an option to press a "Sleep/wake" button would be great. An added plus would be if it let us record naps.
