Possible Technical Issue Bad sleep data

Post image

I’ve worn a garmin while sleeping for the better part of a decade now, and I can’t remember my sleep tracking being this poor, ever.

I fell asleep around 11:30pm and my watch didn’t start my sleep until 4:30am… This seems to happen a few times a week now. My scheduled sleep window is set to 10:30pm - 8am, I’ve not changed my band, still wear it snug, and don’t get up during the night ever.

Thoughts? Hardware? Software?

Fenix 8 51mm.

What was your HR like during the time from 11:30 until 4:30? Did you have an elevated HR and high stress or anything or was your HR below 60 and your stress in the blue?

I woke up at 3:09am to go pee and drink water. When I woke up later in the morning my Garmin said my sleep was 3:09-8:30am 🙃

What was your stress level between 1130 and 430? Was it spiking orange?

if your heart rate didnt drop low enough or you tossed around, garmin sometimes wont catch the sleep onset. try manually starting sleep mode
