After the new sleep detection algorithm I don't get "deep sleeps" anymore. Before I was getting them in regular intervals throughout the whole night, now its only in the beginning and after that only "light sleep" and REM. Also the in the beginning part is usually me just lying awake trying to fall asleep misdetected, but that was happening before 9.2 also.
Folks, my sleep data, post 9.20, has been 'OK', not that I have anything to check it against for a given night. I do see BOTH REM and Deep Sleep recorded. In another thread, on this forum, to do with REM, I did post a link to my blog which does show Garmin Connect screenshots from June 21. I will post that link again. Last night I got 1h 57m Deep, 2h 26min the night before. That is pretty consistent with what I also saw, a couple of months ago, with a Fitbit Ionic. I do sleep WELL -- probably because I am dog tired when I get to sleep every 'morning' and only have time for '6' hours sleep when I know I need '8'. So, MAYBE you folks really are NOT getting any DEEP sleep!

But according to the sleep stages, how do you go from Light sleep to REM sleep without passing throw Deep sleep? It should be a cycle, no?
At least you see REM sleep. I don't. I have Light, Deep and Awake. Updated to 9.20. Checked both Mobile and web. Shut off and restarted watch, removed and re-installed the Mobile app and still no REM.
I don't know about not getting any deep sleep, but I'm not getting Any sleep recorded or if it is, it's a hour only and at stupid times.
Yesterday shows 1 hour between 8 & 9 pm Sunday evening, I was relaxing watching tv.
This morning, again, recorded a one hour sleep at like 5 pm when I was having my meal. But no sleep time recorded whatsoever within the "bed time, wake time" as set in GC.
On IOS the REM periods are not considered as sleep in the Health app, so for example a 8 hours sleep gets recorded on IOS Health ap as something like 5,3 hours or so. I believe Garmin should discuss this with IOS to sort that out.
