Your sleep tracking just got more accurate

[StefanieFitbit]

If you’ve noticed that your sleep stages, sleep time and awake time have changed recently, you’re seeing our latest improvement in action. This is the first step in a series of upcoming improvements to improving our sleep tracking — so stay tuned to hear about these changes as soon as they happen. 

We understand that changes in your data can be surprising and appreciate your feedback. 

What changed?

We've updated our tracking technology. This is to provide a more precise measurement of your sleep stages. Our goal is to always give you the clearest and most accurate view of your health.

For example, you may see your awake time increase slightly as we now capture brief awakenings the old system missed. This is a normal part of sleep.

What this means for you

The sleep data you see now is a more accurate reflection of your night's rest. This more detailed data will help you better understand how your body is recovering each night.

We appreciate you being such an engaged member of our community.

Please note that these changes only rolled out to users of the following devices:

Smartwatches: Versa Lite, Versa 1, Versa 2, Versa 3, Versa 4, Sense 1, Sense 2, Pixel Watch 1, Pixel Watch 2, Pixel Watch 3, and Pixel Watch 4

Trackers: Alta HR, Inspire HR, Inspire 2, Inspire 3, Luxe, Charge 2, Charge 3, Charge 4, Charge 5, and Charge 6

I continue to get poor sleep results --- often showing 1.5 to 2.5 hours of awake time, which is just bogus. I also had more than 5 hours or awake time. Crazy. If it continues, I, too, might consider leaving Fitbit after years of use. It's a shame that they broke something that did not need to be fixed.

How accurate is this new tracking Technology? I have gone from awake around an hour per night to 3! I have changed from sensitive to less sensitive and my awake time went up.I have not had more than 6 hours sleep in more than a month! I think this tracking Technolgy is messed up. Please tell me if this is really correct!
