Inspire and sleep tracking

[hdflhtcu]

Hi all, I just started using my newly purchased Inspire and have a question regarding sleep tracking. I have been using a Fitbit One for a few years and no problems tracking sleep, just had to remember to start and stop the timer.

Now to my question. I am using the Inspire in the clip mode. Will the Inspire track sleep with the device clipped to my tee shirt while sleeping or do I have to have it on my wrist? With the One I was able to track sleep while the device was attached to my tee shirt.

If this is not the case then at best I will have to re-attach the wrist bands and change it from the clip mode every night.

Sorry for the length of this question.

Looking forward to your replies.

Thank you!

Hi, @hdflhtcu , you will need to set your Inspire to "wrist mode" for it to track sleep, and you should not use the app to start sleep.  As long as it is in wrist mode it should track your sleep automatically.

You will need to experiment to see whether you can still get reasonably accurate details if you wear it clipped to your body (but in wrist mode).  It is definitely designed to be worn on the wrist in sleep mode.  If you do not want to add the wrist bands you could also slip it into the One sleep band if you still have that

Thank you, I will try and keep you posted.

Hi again, I tried your suggestions and it seems to have worked. I set it to wrist mode in the evening and back to clip in the morning and somehow it is now tracking my sleep. Just FYI I slipped it into a pocket and it still tracked my sleep. Go figure. Thanks again for your help!

these frigging watches that does not come with any kind of instructions.  What is this making the watch wristmode?  I slept with my HR last nite and I know fell asleep around 8pm or 2000 hrs. Logged into my webpage and it says I went to sleep at 2300 which is 11PM. I woope at 0230 and it said I slept till 0405.  WRONG I tried to change the from and to but it kept erroring. Why am I waiting $100 on a piece of crap that you need to be a genius to operate? I am not very puter or electronics knowledgeable.  Alml I want to do is track how far I walk my dog twice a day and how much sleep i get.  Already found out HR does not track deep sleep and/or light sleep either so this HR is a piece of **ahem**!!!

I just got my Inspire today, NO INSTRUCTIONS OR MANUAL

Ticked off

[debgern]

Wow, have had my ONE forever, never knew it tracked sleep in the clip, i had a wristband I put it in for at night.

Hope I enjoy this Inspire as much as my ONE!🙂

my inspire does not track my sleep as I thought it wud. I suggest googling and you tubing for certain instructions on how to operate.  I quit using yjay newer 1 and keeping my old one to monitor my heart rate and walking distance when I walk my dog. The more frills the more heartache

[Krashman]

Since no instructions came with the **ahem** watch what the heck is wrist mode? And how the hell do you it?  What is this APP thing you said to not use to start sleep? I go to the fitbit web page on my desktop computer to see the info. I have no APP.

[debgern]

Idk

[Krashman]

What does idk mean?

[BBurgDave]

@Krashman It means “I don’t know”.  @debgern If you google, you can find the Inspire manual (here).

Not sure why this thread is marked as “solved “ when ,despite all attempts to fix/adjust settings and use, the sleep tracker is not accurate!

[Unhappyqwerty]

Having same problem as everyone else sleep doesn’t work no manual no help

[Krashman]

How the heel are you supposed to set it to "wrist mode"?  Taint no friggin instruction on how to do all this **ahem**!!!  I am not the best at figuring out all the ins and outs of these friggin contraptions!!

Hold button down until menu slides over.  Scroll down and tap screen to change setting from On Band to On Clip

You can access wrist mode by holding the button and scrolling to the bottom.
