Sleep Tracker

[Niomita]

Fitbit isn't tracking my sleep anymore. Says it can't detect my heart rate at night, however nothing has changed. I've tried shutting it down and restarting. Anyone else having this issue?

Hi there @Niomita. Great to have you in the Forums! 😄

I'm sorry to hear that you are not getting sleep recorded properly 😕 Is your sleep not being tracked at all or it is but you see your sleep pattern instead of the sleep stages?

There are a few scenarios where you might see your sleep pattern (which shows your time asleep, restless, and awake) instead of sleep stages:

• If you slept in a position that prevented your tracker from getting a consistent heart-rate reading or wore it too loosely. For best results, wear your tracker higher on your wrist (about 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone). The band should feel secure but not too tight.
• If you used the Begin Sleep Now option in the Fitbit app (instead of simply wearing your tracker to bed).
• If you slept for less than 3 hours.
• If your tracker’s battery is critically low.

Keep these things in mind when going to sleep to ensure you will see your sleep records on your dashboard. Anything else, I'm here to help!
