Inspire 3 overstates hours for sleep

ANSWERED

I'm having a problem with sleep tracking with Inspire 3.  See screen shots below. Today is Monday, 11 Aug/2025 at 11:08 EDT. I slept from Sunday night at 9pm to Monday morning at 5am. The app is showing that I slept 15+ hours ON MONDAY. I actually slept 5 hours (from midnight to 5 a.m.) on Monday morning. I'll sleep more on Monday night, but it looks like the app believes I've already slept through most of the day today. I don't seem to be able to edit the entry to fix it. I had the same problem over the weekend, deleted all sleep data, but it happened again last night/today.

Maybe I'm not understanding what it's telling me, or I need to adjust some setting? Please help. Thanks!

This might not explain your current issue, but to help you understand more about fitbit's sleep logging, sleep is always credited to the day you wake up.  So if go to sleep at 9 PM tonight, sleep through the night, and wake up at 5 AM tomorrow, that should credit 8 hours of sleep to tomorrow, no additional sleep credited to today.  The exception would be if you woke before midnight, say for a bathroom break or just couldn't get back to sleep, for long enough (nobody knows exactly how long the long it requires), sometimes fitbit considers it a separate sleep session, and in that case since you awoke before midnight it would be credited to today, with a new session starting tomorrow.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.

Thanks for the quick reply. This is great to know! My numbers may indeed have something to do with a bathroom break. I'll keep an eye on the numbers and see if that explains things.

Thanks again!
