Inspire 2 skipped the time I slept before midnight

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

Last night I went to bed at about 9:30 and was probably asleep by 10:15. I woke at around 12:30am and after using the bathroom and getting a drink, I went back to bed. I read and relaxed for a while, and went back to sleep at, I suspect, 1:37 am, which is when the app *started* showing my sleep.

I can't edit it because the app won't allow me to change the date to the day before. I would like to know how to overcome this because an occasional hour of wakefulness is not uncommon for me.

 

Thanks for your time

@JZGreene Welcome to the Fitbit Community!

 

Let me help you with this. Your device will start recording sleep after it detects an hour of inactivity. If you have a light sleep or move too much then this may difficult your sleep detection. Additionally you can try wearing your device on your non dominant hand to decrease the amount of movement it is subjected to. Finally you can restart your device. You can also manually log your sleep time. You can read more about sleep detection here

 

I also want to note that if your sleep is detected before midnight then it will be assigned to the previous day instead of the current one so check previous sleep logs to see if this happened.

 

Let me know how it goes.

The tracker is on my non dominant hand
I was sleeping for two to three hours prior to waking just before 1am, as stated in my post. That's more than enough to trigger the device recognizing I was asleep.
The device has been restarted, repeatedly, because it frequently doesn't want to sync.
The sleep time is not logged on the day before.
It would not let me manually log the sleep time because that sleep technically was the day before, as stated in my post.
Again, how do I overcome this problem? As stated in my post, it is not uncommon for me to wake and be awake for an hour or so in any given sleep period, so it not recording is a dealbreaker.

Since apparently the designers and product managers at Fitbit have only arrived on this planet recently, please tell them that humans take their nighttime sleep between the hours of approximately 8 pm to 10 am. If someone is sleeping from 10 - 11:50 pm and then wakes up for a little bit, that sleep time should be added to the sleep time after midnight and before 10 am. Not the sleep time of the previous night.
