New "Snore Report" wording could be improved

[PetFriendly]

The new Snore Report feature is interesting, especially for people like me who have Sleep Apnea. There is a significant bug or error in the reporting, though. I added & approved the new feature last Thursday 9/16. The next day it said "59% of nights snoring." I thought maybe it was a typo, and should be "night" (i.e. % of sleep time), but that math doesn't work either. According to the report, I snored 68% of the time I was sleeping. 

The next night the report said "62% of nights snoring, and 69% the third night. It seems like this report is comparing the number of nights in which the snore report is actually available to some other time frame, before the app was installed and available. Shouldn't it be comparing the number of nights snoring to the number of nights since the feature was installed? As it is, this report it generates doesn't make sense, so it's not helpful. 

It would also be easier to find if they didn't bury it in the "Restoration" category. Why not make a separate category, so it shows: Time Asleep, Deep and REM, Restoration and Snore Report?

@PetFriendly Welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thanks for sharing detailed information. 

Take into consideration that you receive your first report the day after you turn on the feature. Snore and noise detection doesn't analyze previous night's sleep. 

Note that the amount of snoring is categorized as: 

• • None to mild (less than 10% of the total time you were asleep)
  • Moderate (10-40% of the total time you were asleep)
  • Frequent (more than 40% of the total time you were asleep)
• The noise level chart shows the volume of your sleeping environment in A-weighted decibels (dBA), which measures the relative loudness of sounds to the human ear. A dBA of 0 doesn’t mean there’s no sound, but that it’s not audible to the human ear. For example, a soft whisper is 30 dBA and a coffee grinder is 70-80 dBA. Your overall noise level is categorized as:
  • Very quiet (30 dBA or lower)
  • Quiet (30-50 dBA)
  • Moderate (50-70 dBA)
  • Loud (70-90 dBA)
  • Very loud (90 dBA or higher)

In regards to adding a category for Snore Report, please post your idea in our Feature Suggestion board, those are reviewed by our team and the status will change depending on Fitbit plans. 

Hope this helps.

Your reply does not answer my question. Either the label is written incorrectly (i.e. % of time snoring vs % of nights snoring), or it's calculating the % of nights snoring is incorrect (including a period before the feature was enabled). After 6 nights, where it shows that I snored every night for most of the night, it says "74% of nights snoring." It should show "100% of nights snoring." If it's calculating the % of time asleep during which I snored (not % of nights), it should say "% of time snoring" (but that math doesn't work, either- that should be higher, too). You have a bug or a coding error.
