Sleep Mode

Either the FR 955’s sleep mode is extremely buggy with the latest software update or there’s something I’m doing wrong. First thing is the touch screen re-activates itself during sleep hours despite being disabled for general use. Since I’m not a fan of the touchscreen feature it would be really nice if it remained disabled per my desired setting. Secondly sleep tracking has been all over the place since Garmin has added the nap feature. For some reason the watch is tracking naps during sleep hours (or sleep window that I set up) while I’m asleep. That doesn’t even make sense. I don’t think my 955 has recorded a single good nights sleep since I got it. It’s definitely not an end of the world situation but it would be nice to get better tracking so that Training Readiness and other metrics can be somewhat consistent.

Since I didn’t have the watch for the previous software I really don’t know what’s changed or how the device has been affected but I hope this gets sorted out. Again if sleep tracking is broken then some of the other features are pointless. However as I’ve already stated I’m willing to consider I’m doing something wrong. 

  • Sorry to hear. From what it is worth, I have no issues with it. Sleep is tracked well, and since last FWupdate, I also hev naps in my data, which also are recorded accurately. The only thing I can think off is whether or not you have your settings right for sleep period. F.i. from 11pm until 7am or whatever period you like. It should not record naps during your sleep period setting.

  • I am having the same issue. Initially my sensors stopped working altogether after the last update. After working with support I got those working again, but sleep tracking is still not working. Best I can tell is the HR monitor stops working or freezes in sleep mode, since my HR rate appears as a flat line in the data - which then results in no data to monitor sleep. I've tried adjusting my sleep period and just tried to take a nap instead and that still hasn't resulted in sleep data. HRV and stress are also not being recorded when in sleep mode or nap mode for me.

  • I'm also experiencing the touchscreen reactivating during sleep mode regardless of precious settings. In the menu touchscreen shows as be off while still being active. Once I turn it on and off again, the touchscreen is deactivated but will reactivate the next night. 

  • Yeah it’s definitely weird. It’s a bug of some kind.
