Issue with change of time and sleep mode

We just changed time here in Canada.

Both my 265 and my wife’s 265s (both running sw version 3.56) did not stay in sleep mode last night despite having night mode scheduled properly from 10pm to 8am.

I am not sure when the night mode stopped during the night, but I woke up at 3am and my watch was no longer in sleep mode. The screen light is actually what woke me up, my watch must have been close to my face. Soon after being awaken, my wife moved in the bed and the screen on her watch went on as well.

Sleep mode has been working flawlessly the night before and since we got the watches, it’s never been an issue.

On a side note and for those who might wonder, the sleep mode is better on the 265 than on the Epix gen 2: the screen is slightly less bright at night and in my opinion it makes the 265 more comfortable than the Epix.

  • Hello,

    I had the opposite happen to me. I woke up long after my sleep mode schedule ended, but sleep mode was still enabled.

    I was surprised my watch face hadn't updated to the correct time by the time I woke up. Maybe DND mode prevented updates from happening?

    My touch screen was also not working, I'm not sure if this is a feature of sleep mode or if it was a glitch. If it's a feature of sleep mode, I don't see a way to change this behaviour like others have suggested for Fenix/Epix watches in the other forums.

  • I am having issues with the sleep mode as well.

    Watch is at ver 3.56 (latest version when I updated it two days ago when purchased)

    I work nights/sleep days... Saw a sleep report. it for while I was at my desk working. Tried to delete it (couldn't), so called Garmin support yesterday to see if the could tell me how to delete it (or have them delete it) and was told you cannot delete a sleep activity (this needs to be changed!).

    He walked me through confirming I have my sleep schedule setup and the times were correct (I sleep 2p-9p), but for 2 days in a row it has not gotten my actual sleep, but while I am sitting at my desk working from 2a on... I also tried to manually trigger a nap today and it didn't show up...

    Hopefully the devs watch/read this forum/thread and add this issue to their fixes in an upcoming update (also ability to delete sleep records).
