Hello everyone!
This is my first post on the Samsung forum because, like many others, I really need this feature! My last smart device before switching to a Samsung smartwatch was a Honor Band 5 (released in 2019!), and I hesitated a lot about switching just because of this missing feature, which is really important to me. Sometimes, I even have to sleep with both devices. The Honor Band even had a "smart nap" feature to make sure you didn’t fall into too deep a sleep during a nap.
Just this morning, I woke up during the wrong sleep cycle, I had an important meeting, but I couldn't focus..
Sleep seems to be a key feature in Samsung Health: sleep coaching, sleep score, cycle analysis, and now it’s even a big part of the energy score. It’s almost absurd that the app can detect snoring with recordings, but there’s no smart alarm. I believe that with this feature, many Galaxy Watch users would have better sleep and energy. I’d much rather have a smart alarm than know what sleep animal I am.. Samsung Health keeps reminding us how crucial sleep is for our overall health.
Maybe there are technical constraints preventing this feature, but please keep us updated to know what to expect.
@AntS, any updates on this feature?
EDIT: after some research..
"When the user wakes up, the sleep data is analyzed" (https://developer.samsung.com/health/blog/en/managing-sleep-data-with-samsung-health-and-health-conn...)
So the sleep data is not in real time, it is only available once the data is uploaded and analyzed when waking up, which probably prevents this functionality (yet ?), and that's why "Sleep as Android" has to access the raw data from the watch sensors, and use their own algorithm to detect sleep phases in real time (and consumes a lot of battery)
Ironically, there is an IEEE article from 2020 linked on samsung publications (https://developer.samsung.com/health/publications/4.html)
