Charge 6 - Incorrect sleep

Charge 6 shows going to sleep at 7pm then immediately awake for 2 hours before actually going to sleep. I was watching TV for two hours. Same thing today. Logging sleep when I'm watching TV. I've had my charge 6 for 8 months.

Hello @Vgriff 

This help page (<-- click) explains how Fitbit devices detect sleep. Since you were watching TV for 2 hours and likely not moving much, your Charge 6 started tracking the time as Sleeping.

I've also experienced this when I'm sitting and reading or watching TV. When this happens, I go to the Sleep page in the Fitbit app and delete the extra sleep log. The same help page that I linked above has the instructions on how to delete the extra sleep log, if that's something you haven't done before. 

I also try to get up and take a quick walk or do some kind of movement so that my device doesn't start tracking sleep.

It's good to see you around @Vgriff

Thank you for taking the time to share with me this information about your Charge 6. 

 
If you're not moving much, the device might interpret this as sleep. For instance, if you're sitting down to watch a movie.
 
During this period would be an ideal time to charge the device.
 
You can always edit the sleep log to accurately reflect your activity.

Thank you for your email. I watch TV every night for a couple of hours but
have never experienced this before.i guess I'll have to move some in the
future.
