17.24 nap detection working very bad

Miky over 1 year ago

Installed this morning at 6am the new software.

It detected a nap from 7:37am to 8:24am when I was sitting in my car scrolling the phone before starting work!

Don't want nap detection, how can I disable it?

All,

I definitely understand the desire for the ability to delete falsely detected naps.

If you would like this option, or see many false naps on your device, please reach out to Garmin Product Support

Sleep track on mine works absolutely fine since day one

For info, if you look in GC / Health Stats / Body Battery.... Naps show as Factors at the botto of the screen.

How can Garmin could understand if you are sleeping or you are laying in bed with open eyes?

If garmin can't make it work then they should not advertise with a sleep/nap tracking feature.

Quite simple, isn't it?

I do wonder this myself.

I had three short naps at the weekend, and once just lying down. All identified correctly.

Same here, when working at my desk, the system detects a nap and overwrites my sleep data from the previous night !

If it does not behave as expected, I'd also like to be able to deactivate it, otherwise training readiness is affected.

Sleep tracking works quite well for me, but this nap thing is terrible. It keeps saying I had a nap when I was reading, or watching TV.

We need a way to turn this off!

Yeah, there needs to be a way to turn this off. I just updated and I know this is going to get triggered while I'm sitting at my desk.

I'm not one to take naps on a daily basis, but the few times I did after the upgrade, they registered correctly. Even the first one, since I didn't know if it was automatic or not, I started it manually. Both ways it worked fine for me. Also the Sleep Tracking at night works like a charm as I expected.

I NEVER take naps! Two days ago my 955 recorded two nap sessions totalling 1 hour 22 minutes when I was just sitting or watching the TV. Today I have 12 minutes when I was having my lunch. I'm not an athlete, just a reasonably fit 70 year old who walks quite a bit and cycles 4000 miles a year. If it was being recorded acurately, which it is not, what is the benefit of recording naps? Can I switch this "feature" off and if I can, what is the effect of doing that on my overall Garmin Connect data?

Maybe now you can recognize that you fall asleep watching TV? Just kidding :)

From what I saw what you can do is to remove the Glance that shows you that information. I understand that this will not stop it from saving that information, but so far I have not been able to find the information related to Naps in GC. It is not important to me either.
