Sleep plotting bar graphs (useless) some nights and analog on others

[LindaHeck]

Some nights I get the very useful analog graphs with troughs and peaks, other nights I get the almost useless bar graphs with minimal information? Why is this happening? It has been alternating between them for the last 2 weeks or so.

Hey there @LindaHeck. Good to see you in the Fitbit Community Forums! 🙂

This can be a little tricky sometimes. With the new Sleep Stages feature, there are some conditions that you need to meet in order for Sleep Stages to show up. 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 on your wrist
• If you slept for less than 3 hours
• If your tracker’s battery is critically low
• If you used the Begin Sleep Now option in the Fitbit app (instead of simply wearing your tracker to bed).

Pay attention to these suggestions to ensure you will see Sleep Stages on your tracker.

Hope you find this information helpful and if you need more help, let me know! 🙂
