Combining sleep sessions

[chrisbirkett]

I love the sleep tracking feature of my Charge HR, but would like to request the ability to merge two adjacent sleep sessions.

If I check my fitbit to see how long I have been asleep, see that the answer is "not long enough!" and go back to sleep, the second session appears separately in the sleep session list and does not count towards the daily sleep goal.

Last night I made the mistake of checking in the middle of the night. I now have two sessions:

23:01-03:01 (3:32 asleep)
03:02-06:05 (2:46 asleep)

Frustratingly only the 3:32 appears on my sleep chart. Ideally these sessions would be automatically combined but if not, I'd like to be able to combine them manually.

I don't seem to have the option to upload screenshots but if any of the developers want, I'd be happy to email them. Cheers!

Hi, @chrisbirkett! You can delete your second sleep log and then edit the first one (in the app, there is a pencil icon at the top right when you click on a sleep log) to amend the end time to your total end time.

Thanks @MakMak - I'll use that workaround, but it is lossy (results in the loss of sleep efficiency information recorded in the auto-generated second session). It would be great to be able to merge sessions (or not see them visibly split in the first place!)

Sorry, I take it back... It does not look like that method loses sleep information. Even after the second session is deleted, when the first is lengthened it picks up the information previously recorded in the second session. So this works well for me - thanks again for the tip.

I still think it could be smarter and not split the sessions up in the first place if the end and start are within a couple of mins of each other, but hey 🙂

Hi, I’ve just done this (I got up for a drink during the night and my Luxe split my sleep in two) but the app then deletes all the sleep score info so if that matters to you, best to leave the sleep split in two. Hope Fitbit sort this one out.

(I’m on premium so you get info on sleep below resting heart rate etc - that’s what’s disappeared).

I have this problem too.  Luxe frequently splits my night into 2 parts ... there should be a way to merge them easily.

My Inspire HR did this to my sleep as well.   I did what MakMak suggests and it kept my data together and fixes the sleep score too.

Delete one of the sleeps and edit the other with the correct begin/end time.  Data will merge and your sleep score will update.

The 2 sleep periods should merge if they are less than a hour apart. I have noticed that when I hacked 2 sleep periods that the dash board does look at both when calculating the sleep time.
