Garmin Connect data shows users have been
sleeping better over the last year
OLATHE,
Kan., March 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Garmin
(NYSE: GRMN) is celebrating World Sleep Day with a look at all the
ways Garmin smartwatches can help users appreciate how a good
night's sleep can enhance their well-being and
performance. Insights from the Garmin Connect
community show that over the last year Garmin users recorded
an average sleep score of 72, up from an average score of 70 during
the previous year1. Thanks to Garmin smartwatches – that
can track sleep patterns, naps, stress levels, heart rate and
more2 – it's easy to have a better understanding of the
intricate interplay between sleep and overall well-being.
Track your sleep
Garmin's latest smartwatches – including Venu® 3,
fenix® 8, Forerunner® 265 and
vívoactive® 5 – feature innovative tools and
insights to help customers track their sleep. These insights go
beyond simply marking the amount of sleep an individual receives;
they also provide a picture of how sleep impacts other aspects of
the user's daily life.
- Sleep coach: Receive personalized coaching for how much
sleep is recommended and receive personalized tips on how to
improve sleep based on factors like previous sleep history,
activities and more.
- Sleep score: Get a nightly score on a scale of 0-100
based on how long and how well a user slept and provides details on
how sleep impacts their day.
- Sleep stages: View sleep stages (light, deep and REM)
and when they occur during the night.
- Nap detection: Automatically track naps and learn how
they may benefit the body and the suggested time and duration they
should be for maximum effect.
- Jet lag advisor: Travelers can enter their trip details
in the Garmin Connect™ smartphone app calendar and
receive information on light exposure, a sleep schedule and
exercise to help minimize the effects of jet lag on their next
long-distance trip.
- Heart rate variability (HRV) status2: See
last night's average HRV and the smartwatch will establish a
personal baseline and the user if they're balanced, unbalanced, low
or poor to help them get a better handle on recovery and their
overall wellness picture.
- Pulse Ox3: Track blood oxygen saturation
while asleep.
What our sponsored athletes are saying about the importance
of sleep insights
"My favorite Garmin sleep tracking feature is seeing my sleep
summary with all the stages of sleep after I wake up, specifically
how much deep sleep and REM I got. I know what is normal for me in
these stages, so when I'm not getting enough deep or REM, I try to
focus on what I can do during the day or before bed to help set me
up for better quality sleep (i.e., make sure I'm fueling enough,
less screen time, a good routine before bed, etc.). When I'm
getting high quality sleep at night, then I'm able to get the full
benefit of my training, which allows me to perform at my best every
day."
—Skye Moench, professional triathlete
"Why guess when you can know? The first thing I do
each day is look at my sleep score, body battery and HRV status.
You need to understand what effects those number and that it's all
relevant to who you are. I strive to be able to put the hammer down
(at tournaments) but also understand that comes at a cost. Having a
way to use that data to understand the cost/benefit of how you
train and how you practice is a huge benefit to me. The more you
use this information, the more you can learn how to find the best
version of yourself."
— Scott Stallings, professional
golfer
