I have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and use a dental piece to help with this.  I am wondering if the Fitbit sleep patterns can help me diagnosis when I am having sleep apnea.  The Fitbit records that I am awake from 25 to 35 times at night.  Is this a typical number of times awake?  Are there any plans for Fitbit to have a device that can detect sleep apnea?

Is there anything published about how many times a night a person typically wakes up?  20, 30, 50 70?

 

Does Fitbit actually know a person is awake or only knows a person moved or the heart rate changed?

 

How does Fitbit measure that a person is awake?

Thanks, that is very helpful.  I think the sleep information is interesting but not very medically accurate.
