Sleep tracking wrong

[WDBofVA]

The sleep tracking seems to recognize when I am asleep. That 's good, but the reporting and conclusions are poor at best. It appears to only track 1 episode of slumber. If I get up to use the bathroom or to comfort a family member with a nightmare or another issue that keep me up 10-15 minutes, when I get back to sleep, it forgets that I was ever asleep and only counts the last slumber.

I had a Basis Peak Watch that would include all periods. In fact, it would show if I fell asleep watching TV or took a nap. I liked that as it gave better insight into my sleep habits, quality and a valid quality.

I think the app sleep tracker should report all sleep periods in the time line with gap markers for those interruptions.

For ease of understanding, I suggest that all sleep events from 12 PM (noon) the first day to 12 PM (noon) the next day should be reported with the first day.

Hi there @WDBofVA, Great to see you in the Community!

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 awake. This setting may be helpful for users with sleep disorders, or those who wear their tracker somewhere other than the wrist while asleep.

If your Fitbit tracker is worn consistently each night with the same setting, the data that it produces should be useful. To change your setting in the Fitbit app for iOS or Windows 10, go to Account > Advanced Settings > Sleep Sensitivity. To change your setting in the fitbit.com dashboard, go to Settings > Devices > scroll down to Sleep Tracking.

Also, your Blaze works based on autodetection. Autodetection is based on your movement. When you haven’t moved in over an hour, algorithms assume that sleep has begun, which is confirmed by the length of time your movements are indicative of sleep behavior only (rolling over, etc). Morning movement tells your tracker that you’re awake. If you’re not moving but not asleep for long periods of time it’s possible for your tracker to falsely record sleep, in which case you can delete the sleep record from your dashboard.

Hope you find this helpful and if you need anything else, let me know!
