Daily hours in dashbord not what I expect (or need)

[T-X]

I quite often have days of skipped sleep, or just a nap, but then catch up with it on another day. So when I add a nap of 30min. for such a day, the "Daily hours" in the dashboard actually decreases, goes down from 9h to 8:45h. Which is counterintuitive to me, I want to check that I get enough sleep. And adding sleep should not decrease that.

My guess is that a day without sleep is somehow skipped in the daily average hours calculation? Not quite sure if this a bug or intentional.

I guess it could be a useful feature for people who just forgot to track sleep on a specific day. And don't want that to mess with the statistics. Maybe it would be useful to have that as a setting, how to deal with days without a sleep event.

I also sometimes forget to track a day of sleep. In that case it would be great to be able to insert an untracked time span. A time span where I'm not sure when and how long I slept and don't want that time span to mess with any statistics. (But maybe that'd be more of a feature request.)

It's intentional: did you find the "Ignore empty days when showing average of daily sums" setting that is on by default, but you probably want to disable it? See https://vmiklos.hu/plees-tracker/usage.html#dashboard

For this, there is just a workaround: you can do a start, followed by a stop and then you can edit both if you go to the sleep activity. Various other stats want to know the start/stop time for each sleep, so a special sleep with no exact start/stop, just a duration would be a bit odd.

I assume you simple wasn't aware of the above setting. :-)

Oh, perfect, that's exactly the setting I was looking for! Thanks a lot! (And oops, now I'm down to 7:26 daily average. But very useful/helpful to know.)

You mean adding a 0min. sleep event? And edit that to the real sleep time later? Not quite sure how that would help in my situation. Typically I notice a few days later that I must have forgotten to track a sleep interval. And then don't remember neither the exact time nor duration anymore.

so a special sleep with no exact start/stop, just a duration would be a bit odd.

I was thinking about something like a "vacation mode" interval. It would have an exact start+stop+duration. But this interval shouldn't modify the average stats and shouldn't add to total sleep durations.
