How did you sleep? Garmin’s new Index™ Sleep Monitor has the answer. Designed as a lightweight, upper-arm band for maximum comfort, it delivers in-depth insights into your nightly recovery. More than a device, it represents an extension of the Garmin wellness ecosystem, where movement, rest and resilience are all measured in harmony.
More Than Hours Of Rest
The Index Sleep Monitor goes beyond simply logging bedtime. Each morning, it delivers a personalised sleep score (0–100) via the Garmin Connect™ app, calculated from sleep duration, stress, stages and more. It shows when you moved between light, deep and REM sleep, while also tracking HRV status, Pulse Ox readings, respiration rates, and skin temperature changes. Over time, the device builds a personalised baseline that makes trends in recovery easier to interpret.
A Seamless Part Of The Garmin World
On its own, the Index Sleep Monitor is powerful. You don’t need to own another Garmin device to unlock the full suite of sleep and recovery insights. Simply wear the band at night, sync with the free Garmin Connect™ app, and wake up to a complete breakdown of your rest. But its real strength lies in how it connects with Garmin’s wider ecosystem. Data from the armband can be combined with smartwatch metrics via the Garmin Connect™ app to provide a more complete picture of your health.
Wearing a Garmin watch during the day and the Sleep Monitor at night creates continuity, movement and training by day, recovery and resilience by night. Together, they bring clarity to how your body recharges, making everyday choices more informed and intentional.

Insights For Every Body
The Index Sleep Monitor isn’t limited to sleep. It also offers stress tracking and Body Battery™ energy monitoring, giving a sense of how restorative your night truly was. For women, advanced cycle tracking uses skin temperature data to improve period predictions and provide retrospective ovulation estimates (this feature is not intended to support conception, contraception or birth control and is not a medical device) integrated into the same app experience.
Designed For Daily Life
A device you wear every night needs to be effortless. The Index Sleep Monitor comes in two sizes (S–M and L–XL) and is crafted from a breathable fabric that feels soft against the skin. It’s also practical – simply remove the module and toss the strap into the washing machine when it needs a refresh.
With up to seven nights of battery life, there’s no need for daily charging. When it’s time to wake up, the smart wake alarm feature looks at lighter sleep stages during a pre-selected window of time to gently wake users with a light vibration, so they feel more refreshed.

The Bigger Picture Of Wellness
Garmin has long stood for innovation that serves everyday life, from GPS technology to smartwatches. The Index Sleep Monitor reflects this ethos by extending the conversation from activity and training into rest and recovery.
As Susan Lyman, Garmin’s Vice President of Consumer Sales and Marketing, explains: “Wearing this smart sleep band every night can provide in-depth sleep insights and a more complete picture of fitness and recovery so users can wake up ready to seize the day.”
