Where is the advanced sleep tracking for the 945?

Hello all,

I noticed that the Fenix 6 a while back received a new sleep tracking algo or similar roughly 9 months ago I think? This gave better widgets and I believe a sleep score alongside more accurate tracking. Currently the only thing I don't like about my Garmin is the sleep tracking as it picks up a lack of deep sleep and a lack of me waking up i.e I wake up at 8am and lie in bed for an hour (maybe with eyes shut for some of it) but my wake up time is like 9:08.

Fitbit seem to do this really well and It would be great if this new algo helps this. When can we expect to see it for the 945?

Thanks

Josh

Good afternoon dear Brooks.
Can you please explain what algorithm Garmin uses to calculate sleep tracking when counting date of birth? Maybe this is the biorhythms of life cycles depending on the date of birth?

I don't know how it's used but it's pretty clear that age is a factor. Just put January 1st <YEAR>.

First that, what is the recommended amount of of sleep for you and then a lot of other things that's based on your age....
