Ionic Tracking Sleep Accurately, editing inaccurate sleep records

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I love my Ionic, but the sleep tracking function leaves many "gaps" in the record, so it does not record my sleep accurately.  So it will record say Sunday 10 pm-11:12 pm, and record Monday 1:21am- 6:31am, when I actually slept Sunday 10pm - Monday 6:31am.

 

When I try to edit the sleep function, I can't seem to tie the start and stop together for an accurate depiction of my sleep.  Surely I am foolish and there is an easy way to to this.

 

Please help

It's great to see you around @johndevine123. Thanks for the details mentioned and the time you took to edit your sleep graph. 

 

Fitbit estimates your sleep stages using a combination of your movement and heart-rate patterns. When you haven’t moved for about an hour, your tracker or watch assumes that you’re asleep. Additional data—such as the length of time your movements are indicative of sleep behavior (such as rolling over, etc.)—help confirm that you’re asleep. While you’re sleeping, your device tracks the beat-to-beat changes in your heart rate, known as heart rate variability (HRV), which fluctuate as you transition between light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep stages. When you sync your device in the morning, we use your movement and heart rate patterns to estimate your sleep cycles from the previous night. 

 

I would like you to try the following: 

 

- Restart your Ionic 

- If you slept in a position that prevented your device from getting a consistent heart-rate reading or wore it too loosely. For best results, wear your device higher on your wrist (about 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone). The band should feel secure but not too tight.

- Change your sleep sensitivity

 

Let me know if after this your sleep gets tracked correctly.
