Can Venu 2 sleep tracking detect naps?

No Sir.

Naps will recharge the body battery but will not increase the sleep score as they are not detected within the sleep algorithm.

Thanks for the reply! Makes sense as naps bring down stress and that will recharge your body battery slightly. Sad about not added to the sleep score though.

Just to clarify, naps are not added to the Body Battery, which is disappointing 

Of course they are, but only if your stress level is low enough. 

Body battery increases when your stress levels are low and, usually, when you nap your stress levels are low enough to recharge a bit the body battery.

If you run a marathon and you nap after it your body battery will not increase as stress levels will still be pretty high after an intensive effort.
(the marathon is just an example...i hope that the concept is clear).

This concept doesn't make sense. I feel much healthier after EVERY nap. The short of it is that other gear recognize naps and short sleep much better. Venu 2 is great for tracking excecercise but falls short in monitoring sleep.

That's like saying that you feel refreshed after EVERY sleep of 8 hours.

Well, it doesn't work like that as you can sleep 8 hours in different ways.

Anyway, i'm not trying to convince you that Venu 2 tracks naps because it doesn't so have a good day and a happy new year

I once took a nap that took the stress down enough that my body battery increased a little bit instead of decreasing. But it didn't show as sleeping in the time line.

I hope this example cleared things up for you.

I personally don't care that it's marked as sleep or not as long as it correctly reflects how it's improving (or not) my vitals.
