Able to get stress score regardless of sleep schedule

[underrun]

The stress management feature requires a wake up time between 8pm and 1pm. This is an inherent bias against people who work nights. This is a subset of our population who are left out of participation, and of which i am a part.

I tend to go to bed around 6am and wait up around 1:30pm ... This puts my normal wake up time outside the range of what's required to get a stress management score. This is stressful.

On top of that, in order to figure out that the requirement didn't just mean "to be awake" between 8pm one day and 1pm the next, i tested this by waking up 45 minutes earlier than i would. When I wake up before 1pm i get a score and when I don't wake up before 1pm i do not.

Part of the reason i love fitbit is that i want to see my numbers improve and that motivates me to live a healthier life. In this case, the same motivation that keeps me working toward better health is pushing me to live in a less healthy way and get less sleep so i can get a stress management score.

This is unacceptable.

Please make the time window stress management works in adjust to our normal wake up time, or even require that we set a wake up time target and base scores on the day we live rather than the day fitbit forces us into.
