Sleep tracking: Is it possible to edit awake times?

Hi all,

you can edit sleep time and wake-up time but is it also possible to edit awake time in between? Because that's what Garmin most certainly tracks very wrong. I am awake to feed my kid for 20 mins and Garmin tells me i'm have been awake for like 2 minutes...

Thanks for your thoughts.

no man, i didn't fall asleep ;-) i used to have an Apple Watch with autosleep (after a lot of Garmin models) and the sleep tracking algorithm was so much better. The awake phases have been tracked 95%…

It's not. Sleep tracking has always been the single biggest fail for the Fenix series for me personally. It's so far from my personal reality that it's pointless to even look at the data.

I…

I hear you! This sounds like hyperbole but it is not: I have literally been to the pub for an hour, caught a train home, walked to my house and stayed up for another 2 hours and the walk to the house was…

As said before - not possible... shure you're not fell asleep when feeding your child? ;P
Nap times during the day are also not possible...sadly... :(

The awake phases have been tracked 95% correctly and if not, you could easily change times afterwards manually. Wonder how hard it can be for Garmin to implement this...With Garmin if you walk, sit, eat within the set sleep period with a realtively low heart rate you're sleeping, no matter what you actually do. Dunno if this is because they don't consider the gyroscope sensor or whatelse but it's not really useful.

just a little joke ;)

Agree with that +

I'm not sure what factors into their calculations but while it may work for some, and some users report it does, it is far from accurate for a lot. It regularily has me sleeping for 8-13 hours a day and I rarely sleep for more than 2 or 3 hours at a stretch and am moving around in between those.

You can edit the start and/or end times to accomplish a change in total sleep time. That is all you can do. (Under the 3 dots in the upper right.)

I hear you! This sounds like hyperbole but it is not: I have literally been to the pub for an hour, caught a train home, walked to my house and stayed up for another 2 hours and the walk to the house was the only awake time registered. I think it places heavy weight on your stated usual sleep time and your heart rate. My heart rate is pretty low so it has me as asleep for hours that my phone’s screen time proves I was fairly active. I did have a non hr Fitbit that just went by movement and that was very accurate. I wish there was an option to educate it about your heart rate or change how much weight it places on it for sleep.

I just found a new feature. Up to 8 naps a day can be added. It's under the sleep coach tab.
