Can't figure out how to track sleep

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

Hi All!

I have a fitbit inspire 2 that I have synced up to my iphone.

I am not sure if I am doing this right but when I wear my tracker to sleep, I go into the app and click the + and do begin sleep now. I know it is registering because it it telling me my restless patterns. I am trying to access a monthly sleep profile where you have to wear your tracker 14 nights to get a sleep profile. I am doing that but it is not registering. Please help me figure this out.

Thanks!

Better not to use the "Begin Sloop now".  Just let Fitbit figure out sleep by itself.  The "Begin Sleep Now' prevents detection of sleep stages such as deep and REM and sleep score.  It is basically just left over from before trackers had heart rate monitors to help detect sleep, and for the few left-over trackers without heart monitors.  The one place it can be helpful is if you are going to take a nap of less than an hour, the minimum Fitbit can detect, and want to get it credited as sleep time.

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

@JohnnyRow , Thank you for your help. 

@khogak4 , A warm welcome to the Community! Thank you for your message.

Just jumped in to add to JohnnyRow's info. The "sleep now" button in the Fitbit app is there for those Fitbits that don have the automatic sleep recognition feature. 
Mostly it is used with older models like the One or Zip.

Just make sure that the Inspire 2 is on wrist mode and not on clip mode. The LEDs on the back should be blinking.
