Sleep tracking - pushing button to indicate awake?

James2 3 days ago

I posted the below 2 years ago with no reply, so am trying again, as every day it frustrates me.

I love my Garmin but I really want the awake times to be more accurate during the night. I just want it so if I push a button that marks as awake, then when I fall asleep it continues to track as asleep.

Why is it that I can wake in the middle of the night, push a button on my 265 to see the time, and yet this isn’t counted as being awake?

My sleep report shows me sleeping right through even though this happened 3 times.

Surely pushing a button is a positive enough action for being awake…

When you wake up in the middle of the night don't push a button and look at the time. Just roll over and let yourself go back to sleep. Boom, fixed. j/k

Sounds like an idea! https://www.garmin.com/en-US/forms/ideas/ - I will say that this may not be something so simple to incorporate as we already have our algorithm in place.

Perhaps then do you have any suggestions on how to get the watch to register I am indeed awake in the night, short of getting out of bed and taking steps? Is there something f that will guarantee to mark as awake? Simply flicking my wrist around doesn’t seem to cut it.

thanks
