Inspire 2 sleep tracking is broken

I have an inspire 2, and it's barely EVER tracking my sleep properly. Most mornings it says "no data", which is really irritating since the sleep tracking function is why I chose this model. It works probably once every two weeks or so .

Any tips? I read somewhere to reboot the watch Daily but that doesn't seem Right. I don't even know HOW to reboot it. Do you? Do tell! Should I be activating "sleep mode" before bed? I read that I shouldn't have to but idk.

Thoughts/ideas/fixes?

Thanks for your support

Welcome to the community forums @huan588.

Thank you for letting me know the difficulty that you are experiencing with the Inspire 2 and for trying to fix it on your own. 

I'd recommend trying the following steps to reset the heart rate monitor as heart rate reading is key to get your sleep data accurately:

• Switch the Heart Rate settings from On to Off and manually sync your watch. To switch the heart rate settings on your watch, from the main screen of your watch, swipe left until you see "Settings", next swipe up until you see "Heart Rate" and switch it to Off.
• Once it's done, manually sync your Inspire 2. To do so, open the Fitbit app: from the Today tab, tap Devices> Device image and tap on "Sync Now".
• Next, switch it from Off to On and manually sync your watch once again. 
• Once it's done, restart your watch once again. 
• Next, confirm that your tracker is snug on your wrist (the lights shouldn't be visible) We also recommend when you're not exercising, wear the tracker just above the wrist bone.

Also, for more detailed information, see What factors can affect my heart-rate reading on my Fitbit device? 

Keep in mind that you must see sleep stages in order to see your sleep score information. Please swipe left on the Sleep Score graph, here you can see information about your weekly sleep average and sleep duration. To get more detailed information, see What's sleep score in the Fitbit app?

With that in mind, I recommend considering the following in order to get sleep stages:

• If you slept in a position that prevented your device from getting a consistent heart-rate reading or wore it too loosely. For best results, wear your device higher on your wrist (about 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone). The band should feel secure but not too tight.
• If you used the Begin Sleep Now option in the Fitbit app (instead of simply wearing your device to bed). For more information on automatic sleep tracking, see How do I track my sleep with my Fitbit device?
• If you slept for less than 3 hours.
• If your device’s battery is critically low.
