Why I Always Have "0 Minutes to Fall Asleep"?

[SanFit]

Just wondering what's wrong to my Blaze as it always shows "0 Minutes to Fall Asleep" all the time?

What procedure should I do to make it correctly recording my asleep session?

Is it a feature which has not been implemented?

Thanks for your advice.

Hello @SanFit,

I think this is a side-effect of doing the auto sleep detection.  Allow me to explain, for some trackers (like the Fitbit One), in order to track sleep you put the device in sleep/activity mode when you enter bed and turn it off when you exit.

So when this data is uploaded to Fitbit, they look at when you went into bed (entered sleep mode) and when you were actually asleep.  They note this as 'minutes to fall asleep'.

At this stage all of the wrist-based trackers automatically detect sleep, so there's really no way to measure when you intended to get to bed until the time you were actually sleeping.

Does this make sense?

@SanFit This issue has always been with us and I found if you edit the sleep record and subtract a minute from the sleep start time that corrects the problem. The time to fall asleep will stay there if you re-edit and add the minute back.

This also works where you have a red active time at the start of the sleep graph and it shows 0 minutes to go to sleep. Edit the record and it will show the 11 minutes as in the image below which had 0 minutes before I edited the record.  It even corrects the minutes asleep......

@SanFitwhile the Blaze is very good at determining when a person falls asleep, it currently is not good at realizing when a person gets into or out of sleep. . You should also note that the Blaze shows 0 minutes in the time it takes to get up. 

So what can you do, the easiest is to not be concerned about the time in bed while your still awake. 

If you want to see this period recorded, then open the Fitbit app, click on the sleep tile, click the plus sign in the top right, then begin sleep now. When you get out of bed in the morning simply tap end sleep.

I manually have my Blaze record my sleep. Which means I open the app, and tell the app "Begin Sleep Now" The watch fills in the blanks when I sync. Until you sync, the period will show up all blue. After you sync, it'll be replaced with whatever the watch recorded.

This should stop the 0 minutes to fall asleep issue you are having. Right now my average time to fall asleep is 12 minutes. I started doing this from day 1.
