How can parents who have to wake several times a night to attend to their infant, record the total hours they slept on Garmin Connect? I have a fenix 5s.
But you can't edit it to have multiple sleeps in one day and that's the whole point of this discussion.
The OP asked this...

my answer will work for this.
the OP can edit the times for the total time and then be able to see the total sleep and active times for the total period.
In fact, i have never tried it yet, but i bet if you edited the time and put a 24 hour range in, it would show any naps you had throughout the day.
Editing I do it already and it doesn't reveal naps, it simply changes the total length of sleep...
Then, maybe I ask too much but I think that with the price I paid for this watch and the fact that we are in 2017 (soon in 2018) it should be able to do it alone?
My intervention was of course in this direction: to see an improvement in the automaticity of sleep monitoring!
Sleep recording on F5 etc is for all intents and purposes non existent. It relies entirely on pre-set sleep hours, and if the actual sleep time does not conform to that there is a high probability of no sleep being recorded. Interestingly, if the watch is not on the wrist, and not moving, there is a very high chance of sleep being recorded even outside the pre-set hours, and even though - obviously - the watch is not attached to a sleeping person. I have given up tracking my recorded sleep time because I found I would have to manually edit sleep hours at least every second day. As indicated higher up in the thread it is perfectly possible to track sleep very closely and efficiently - fitbit does it, probably through a combination of heart rate and motion sensing. Why Garmin is not able to address this issue properly, in a device that is not exactly at the low end of the market, is beyond me.
