Hi. I have a Garmin Instinct watch, which I wear 24 hours a day. I have always tracked my sleep in the Garmin Connect app, but now I would like to try using Apple Sleep in Apple Health.

Health is set up to receive sleep information from my Garmin watch, and not my phone, but I’m confused that two apps can tell me such different sleep results when they get their data from the same source.

Garmin almost seems to think that I either sleep poorly or only fairly every night, where Apple Health says I sleep really well every night (which I know is definitely not true, as I’m awake a lot during the night).

What are your experiences with sleep tracking in Apple Health vs. Garmin?
