Can fitbit info tell you if you have a sleep disorder?

I am very tired today and noticed I had almost 2.5 hours of REM and just over a half hour of deep. Usually I get around 1.5 hours of each, roughly. But this lack of deep sleep also happens quite often, along with extremely irregular sleep cycles.

I am moderately active and eat pretty healthy, I go to bed at a good time every night, use half a mg melatonin and half a unisom with half a diluted shot of 12% liquor to help me sleep. I also take a small dose (5 mg ER of Adderall every morning) which helps me sleep big time. My doctor knows I do this and has okayed the melatonin and unisom at night with the adderall in the morning.

Before doing this medication routine I had severe insomnia. So now I get usually 6.5-8 hours of sleep and sleep well through the night, but my cycle is very strange and I usually seem to be lacking in deep sleep. I'd say my fitbit is misreading my cycles, but when it says I don't enough deep I feel miserable, very tired. What does it mean to be getting little deep but a lot of REM? And why are my cycles so crazy and irregular half the time? Is this sign of a sleep disorder, or is fitbit possibly misreading my cycles?

 

Not sure if this will upload my pictures, but here is from last night:Last nightLast NightAnd here are some other nights from the past week or two showing the irregular cycles:

You really need to talk to your DR. The sleep records might tell them if you print them out and show them.
