Garmin is sleeping on nap tracking.
. No biggie, I thought. Insomnia and I go way back, and I know that strategically timed naps help keep me functioning until the insomnia goes away. Plus, these days, most smartwatches and sleep trackers account for naps in some capacity. Naturally, I assumed Garmin — one of the most popular smartwatch brands among athletes — did, too.Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge
Surely, I was missing something. Garmin has more settings buried in labyrinthian menus than I know what to do with. Napsto be buried in there somewhere, and I was too sleep-deprived to find it. But a quick Google search later, Garmin’stold me that, “Our activity trackers are only designed to track your typical sleep window, and will not display any nap/rest time that is outside of the primary sleep time for each day.
Instead, when you set up a Garmin, you’re asked to set a sleep window. Basically, Garmin’s in-depth sleep tracking will only kick in during those hours. Youmanually edit your sleep hours, but again, Garmins will only track one sleep session per day. Say you slept from 1AM to 7AM, but Garmin’s autodetect messed up and said you went to bed at 2AM. You can fix that in the app. But if you were pooped and took a nap from 6:30 to 7:30PM andwent to bed at 11:30PM, the nap doesn’t count.
