Inspire 2 saying I’m asleep when not

[Xocatina]

One reason I bought this was to track my sleep. I have chronic insomnia. But it’s saying I’m asleep when I am definitely not. I see it’s a common problem. I have set to sensitive and it’s not too tight or too loose. Is it a fault?   Can you help. Last night I dropped off after 5am. Woke at 7:30am it said I was asleep over 9 hours!

@Xocatina Welcome to the Fitbit Community. Thanks for the detailed information shared. 

I appreciate that you checked your sleep settings. 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.

Learn more about sleep stages in this article. 

Hope this helps.

@Xocatina Thank you for getting back. 

Take into consideration that your Inspire 2 will track the hours that you were in bed. At the end, you'll see the sleep stages that were tracked and this way you'll have a summary of your night's sleep. 

Your device needs at least 3 hours of sleep data to estimate your sleep stages. 

Hope this helps.

My Inspire 2 counts the time that I'm sitting watching TV or reading a book as sleep time. I'm wondering if there's a way to fix this. I've started taking the FitBit off when I'm seated, knowing that it will count that as sleep time, but it's inconvenient.
If I'm not able to make adjustments to correct this, is there a way to edit the sleep time to indicate when I actually went to bed rather than the FitBit count the sleep time from when I started watching TV? For example, it indicated I went to sleep at 8 PM, which is when I sat down to watch TV. I would like to have edited/changed that to 11 PM when I turned off the TV and laid down to sleep.
