Sleep interruption causing incorrect sleep recording in app

[Mouldyboot]

Hi

I often get woken up by my daughter at 2-3 am . When this happens, my watch records my sleep from the time I go back to bed, i.e. 2am to 7am but ignores the first 3 hours of my sleep. 

This is every day where there is an interruption but on other days it records the whole sleep fine. 

This suggests to me that the original sleep must be being overwritten. Obviously because Fitbit and the pixel watch hate each other I have no way to update the information. 

Deleting and then re-adding won't work btw just like activities, as the Fitbit software almost always fails when adding or updating stuff.

Apologies using pixel 3 watch on a pixel 9 if that helps )

Hello @Mouldyboot 

I've had similar incidents with my sleep tracking with my Pixel Watch 3. Unlike your experience, I've been able to make edits to my sleep log in the Fitbit app.

You mention that the Fitbit app ignores the first hours of your sleep and only shows your sleep after you went back to bed. I'm wondering if the first hours of your sleep were tracked on the previous day. Have you checked the previous day's sleep page to see if you have an additional sleep log that covers the first part of your sleep? 

Initially, I had trouble editing my incorrect sleep log to include the beginning of my sleep because it kept giving me a message that a log already existed for the time. Yet, I didn't see it on the day's sleep page. It finally dawned on me to check the previous day's sleep page. The sleep log for the first hours of my sleep was there as Additional sleep. Once I deleted that log, I was able to go back to and edit my sleep log to correct the time when I went to sleep. After doing this, the sleep algorithm processed the corrected data and provided the updated sleep metrics, including score & sleep stages graph.

Hi thanks for that. I'll check it out. I was finally able to extend my sleep; my intermittent glitch has gone for now.

Tbh don't really know why it's so important but if you are going to monitor something then it might as well be right! I'm a bit hospital corners about stuff anyway.

First world problems...
