Sleep tracking and Sleep Score

Hey there,

since a few weeks i´ve got the Garmin Venu 2 and want to know if the sleep tracking works well. Is my sleep really as bad as recorded?

Normally after a good night my Sleep Score is somewhere between 70 and 85. After a very good night it is maybe at around 90. Deep sleep and REM are usually under 1h and I feel like I´m 90% in light sleep. Wakeness times are quite good recorded regular between half an hour and one hour.

A normal night for me looks like that:

The Body Battery shows normally more than 90% after the most nights which is quite good for me.

Now I don´t have any comparisons if this is a normal night, if i have sleep problems or if the Garmin watch doesn´t record accurately at all.

Maybe we can collect some sleep records in this thread to compare them?

Greetings

Chris

  • It doesn't work well..I had a full night sleep last night, went to bed at 11pm and didn't wake up until 7 am. Felt very rested. But according to garmin I fell asleep at 4am until 7am only, with a sleep score of about 20. :/ 

  • If you feel well rested, trust your body and not your watch. If you keep obsessing about sleep tracking, you'll run the risk of decreasing your overall sleep quality or even developing full-scale insomnia. It has happened to a lot of people, including me.

  • It works pretty good,  my problem is I find the insights to not interpret the data realistically,  which means the body battery is unrealiable.   Also deep and rem sleep are very inaccurate.     But when you fall sleep and are awake are pretty good for the most part.  I don't sleep well either,  in fact I have insomnia and sleep apnea and consult a sleep physician.  I usually ignore everything else and just count the amount of continuous hours of low movements or low restlessness I have to determine how well I slept.   Everything else is pretty much a gimmick and I would ignore it at this point.
