Is it so hard to fix the sleep tracking?

My Fitbit Charge HR, 4 years ago, flawlessly tracked sleep including 15 min naps.

Garmin's sleep tracking is by far the worst.

for one thing garmin cannot track naps, or any really any sleep outside of the pre-specified sleeping window.

To the OP your stress levels are thru the roof, are you drinking? Spending alot of time on the road? Body battery isn't just about sleep, it's about the quality of sleep and clearly the stress levels during sleep are affecting body battery.

Had the Garmin Venu for a month. A lot of positive things to say about it, but in the end I returned it because of the useless sleep tracking.

No deep sleep on most days anymore since I have the VA4, and the same problems when it connects with the server, sleep is added while awake .

Is there an update coming for these issues?

I have a 4Run'r 955; And, it's sleep tracker is TRASH. I've had several instances of it incorrectly recording my sleep START & END times; that's crazy. Prior to this I had a f_i_t_b_i_t and it did a great job of tracking my sleep which helped me regulate my activities.
Garmin's sleep feature is TRASH and since it's values affect nearly every aggregate feature like Training Readiness/Status, etc. all these values are JUNK.
