Add sleep Efficiency on Mobile App

Status: Released (Premium) Submitted by on ‎05-21-2014 06:44

I'd like to be able to see the sleep efficiency number, currently only viewable on the desktop, on my mobile app. I consider this to be the most useful metric when it comes to my sleep each night and would love for it to be included in the app for night to night comparison. Thanks!  Smiley Happy

I know this post is a bit old, but I'd love to be able to see the sleep efficiency percentage on my app, like I can see on the dashboard. And those percentages to be plotted on a graph over time in my sleep stats

Disappointingly (and confusingly) there's been no movement on this, even though there have been several revisions to what is now the default Dashboard. And I'm further disappointed that apparently those of us which had been able to stay on the old Dashboard, which contains the Sleep Efficiency / Sleep Quality score, are going to lose access to that version soon.  Smiley Sad

 

I'm not the only one whom this is important to. A cursory search here in the forum ironically brings up posts from users who in some cases never knew that the Sleep Score used to be prominently displayed, who are asking for that very feature.

Please Fitbit, return this feature to the Dashboard. You already have the data internally--just display the number prominently in the Sleep Tile (and in the Quick View). There's no technical reason why this can't be displayed, so I'm increasingly confused as to why it continues to be omitted.

 

Thanks again for your consideration.

This actually used to be prominently displayed in the "old" version of the Dashboard (which new users have never seen, but which resembles the above post). I'm not sure why Fitbit has not included the Sleep Efficiency / Sleep Quality score in the current Dashboard (which I'm confused and disappointed about). I've been requesting this for some time now (both in the forum, and via direct email), but not no avail. Smiley Sad

There actually is a Sleep Efficiency / Sleep Quality score within the Fitbit site, but you have to dig for it. Previously it was prominently displayed in the "old" version of the Dashboard (which new users have never seen). I'm not sure why Fitbit has not displayed this prominently in the current Dashboard (or the App).

This actually already exists, but you have to hunt for it. It used to be prominently displayed in the "old" version of the Dashboard (which new users have never seen). I'm not sure why Fitbit has not included the Sleep Efficiency / Sleep Quality score in the current Dashboard.

Still would love to see this, and sad there's been no movement, even though there have been other, much more complex, changes implemented. Smiley Sad

Why is this so hard to do? Instead of spending soooooo much time on making pretty badges and colorful graphs, focus on getting us the DATA! And the sleep efficiency number is useful data...

I know that I and the majority of people I know that also wear a Fitbit use the sleep app religiously.  I have been having difficulties with mine, however.  I do not go to sleep until after midnight many nights.  

 

I was thinking if they were to use a 24 hour circadian clock on the sleep part of the app that maybe it would keep better track of my sleep.  I used to tell the app each night that I was going to sleep now and then, "I am awake", in the morning but then I started having to log in each and every time I wanted to access my dashboard so I started letting it keep track for me.  The app gets very confused because I have serious sleep issues.  A 24 hour circadian clock might just fix the problems I am having with the sleep app, as well as many others I know.

 

Maybe if enough people think this is worth a try, they might let us try it and see whether it works better at keeping track of our sleep.  

 

Please like and add your comments so they will see how many are having difficulties with the sleep app.

The sleep app is almost the most important app on this device, for me.  I am thinking if they change it to a 24 hour circadian clock, it might work better for those of us that have sleep issues and usually don't get to bed until after midnight.

 

Anyone else think this might be worth a try?

If there's a way the sleep can be shown on the Fitbit watch that would be awesome

I appreciate and understand merging the various similar threads all into this one (thus the repetition in posts one might notice in this thread), but I would suggest possibly changing the title of the thread to include adding the Sleep Efficiency score back to the Dashboard (eg, "Add Sleep Efficiency Score to Mobile App and Web Dashboard". I've stopped using the Dashboard very much because of the abscence of this data (which used to be prominently displayed in the old Dashboard).

On windows 10 I would like to see having the sleep efficiency percertage and would also like to see the exact times you wake up and are restless.  On Windows 8 it would tell this and I was using this to tell my doctor exactly what is going on with my sleep habits.  With windows 10 you can't see a percentage or exact times.    Thank you

Hi All, I understand that I can get the sleep efficiency from the web, but it would be nice to simply see the sleep efficiency in the app. I have the app with me all the time, digging through the web, logging in and navigating to find the sleep calculation is a pain.

Please add back sleep efficiency score.  And, please add additional times to sleep record, i.e. hours other than sleep and wake times.

 

Thanks.
