Sleep tracker sensitivity

[APENNELL0801]

I recently turned the sleep sensitivity up on my tracker. I go to bed at 11p wake up at 7a. My awake restless time is insane. Basically I'm averaging about 4 hours of sleep a night. But I'm always tired. I thought that it was because I literally don't stop all day and it was normal to be as tired as I am. Now I'm thinking it's because of my sleep. I guess what I'm asking is how accurate is the sleep tracker with the sensitivity turned up? What constitutes as restlessness? Alot of the "restless" duration is about 15-30 min. If someone could school me on this that would be great. TIA.

@APENNELL0801 I'm assuming your referring to the sensitive setting,, as for what it does, let's to Fitbits help site and their sleep faq. 

Basicly in this setting every arm movement will be considered bring awake 

Your Fitbit tracker's settings can record your sleep in either "sensitive" mode for extremely detailed sleep reporting or "normal" mode for a more basic idea of your sleep patterns. 

• The normal setting counts significant movements as being awake (such as rolling over) and is appropriate for most users.
• The sensitive setting will cause your tracker to record nearly all movements as time spent restless or awake. This setting may be helpful for users who wake up feeling tired even though their sleep history shows sufficient rest.

If your Fitbit tracker is worn consistently each night with the same setting, the data that it produces should be useful
