Hi,
I've been using Fitbit for about a month and notice my sleep log shows I'm "awake" 25+ times a night for about an hour. Is this common?
Curious what other people are seeing.
Thanks!

@KittyMM, it's great to see that you've visited the Fitbit Community!
Let me help you with the awake time on your sleep logs. According to the sleep article:
It’s normal to see awake minutes in your sleep stages; studies have shown a typical adult could wake up briefly between 10-30 times per night (source). You may not remember waking up since you likely fell right back to sleep, especially if you were awake for less than 2-3 minutes at a time. If you wake up in the morning feeling like you had a restless night, you may notice more awake minutes in your sleep stages as compared to other nights.
If you previously tracked sleep with Fitbit, your log included the time spent awake, restless, and asleep. We’ve fine-tuned the mechanism we use to track sleep in order to estimate your sleep stages by including heart rate and other data. As a result, we’ve combined the time you spend awake and restless into total awake minutes to give you a better sense of your sleep cycles.
You may notice more awake minutes in sleep stages than in your previous sleep data due to this change. If you're concerned about meeting your Fitbit goals, you can edit your sleep goal to make sure you still hit it. For instructions, see How do I track my sleep?
Note that sleep stages aren't affected by the sleep sensitivity setting on your device. For more information, see How do I track my sleep?
You can read more about sleep detection here.
Let me know how it goes.

Thank you, but I was asking what other people are seeing.
