Inspire HR, gaps and spikes in heart rate recording at night

[Westbe1014]

 

I’ve noticed that my Fitbit records one spike per night where my heart rate gets up to 80 or 90, and where either before or after the spike no data is recorded for some time. Any idea what might be causing this?

Hi, welcome to the Fitbit Community forums @Westbe1014. 

Thank you for sharing that you've been having trouble with your Inspire HR. 

It does seem to be an odd behavior, before considering other options,  I would recommend performing a restart and to follow all the instructions in this article to improve the accuracy of heart rate information, this has been useful to other users. Let me know if you continue to experience the same behavior after these steps. 

Keep me posted.

I completed the restart, and made adjustments to where I wear the device on my wrist, but this odd artifact persists.

Sent from my cell, my apologies for the typos
