Setting Sleep and Wake Window Times in Garmin Connect

Setting up your sleep and wake time serves two purposes:

  • Establishes the standard window of time to assist in sleep detection

  • Establishes a window of time to put the watch in Sleep Mode as an automatic Do Not Disturb mode

Editing the Sleep and Wake Window

Some watches require you to adjust the sleep times within the settings for the Garmin Connect™ app, some watches require you to adjust the sleep times within the device settings, and some watches can adjust sleep times on the watch itself. If you do not see the sleep options in the Garmin Connect app settings, check the instructions for adjusting sleep times through your device settings. Refer to your owner's manual for steps to change the sleep times on the watch.

The steps below are for adjusting your bed time, wake time, or sleep schedule. If you want to edit the sleep time that your watch recorded, see Can I Edit the Sleep Time That My Watch Recorded in Garmin Connect?
