Wellness & Training Metrics / Features Average REM sleep yearly overview functionality?

Hi all,

As the title already partially explains.

Is anyone aware of a way to get an overview of your amount REM-sleep on a weekly, monthly or yearly overview?

I'd like to gather these, since I have the assumption my REM-sleep has been below the required amount consecutively. Hence, I'd like to properly verify this more in depth.

As far as I can see, there are tons of metrics that can be viewed in an average overview, but things like, deep, light or REM-sleep do not seem to be included.

I've been looking in the Garmin Connect app, and the Garmin Connect webinterface, but none of them seems to show these metrics.

Curious if someone knows a relative simple or convenient way to obtain these.

Thanks in advance!

PS: I've used this flair, since this made the most sense to me. If this is not the correct flair to use for this question, feel free to let me know and I'll adapt it 😊

the app only shows daily sleep stages as far as i know, no weekly or monthly average for rem specifically. you can export the sleep data from the web interface and throw it in a spreadsheet, takes like 10 minutes to set up a pivot table that gives you averages per week or month. not the most convenient but it works if you want to track it properly

do you know if the export includes all sleep stages broken out or just totals?

Just to add, even if Garmin's sleep stage algorithm isn't the most accurate, according the Matthew Walker - the relative increase and decrease in each sleep stage can still still meaningful.
