Naps / Siestas / Day-sleeping

Hello!

I am a bit surprised that my new Garmin Vivosmart4 doesn't record any sleeping activity outside the established schedules on the App. Not everyone has conventional sleeping timetables and some people may like to squeeze a little nap after lunch to recover some energy; however, the fitness band doesn't seem to be recording any of that as sleep. Am I missing something or is that such a limitation?

If the device has the technology to record sleep at night I don't think it would be such a complex task to expand that recording ability to the rest of the day... ¿?

On a side note, my previous tracker was a Fitbit (well, a few of them because their durability is close to inexistent) and it recorded night and day sleep really accurately and combined them to show you the total of hours slept throughout the day, which made a lot more sense tbh. I switched to Garmin and I'm happy with the change so far but I'm surprised and disappointed to see that such a basic function isn't available on the VS4 as I thought it would be useful for a large proportion of its users.

I think adding this feature would be a potential improvement for future firmware updates :)
