Sleep Tracking

[LaurieM57]

Hello. I have a Inspire HR that is more than a year old. Probably close to two years old. For the last two months it is not logging my sleep very well. It says I am going to bed two hours after I actually do. I think from there it is logging the sleep correctly but several times a week it is not getting my bedtime right. Often these are nights I go to sleep rather quickly. Sometimes it cannot log my sleep-not often but once in awhile. Anyone having this problem? Thank you.

@LaurieM57 A warm welcome to our Community!

Let me help you with your sleep detection. 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.

Let me know how it goes.

We've got about a year's worth of results.  My fitbit starts recording sleep within minutes.  My wife's rarely records a full night.  She often gets two separate reads, both of them too short for a correct analysis.  She'll manually correct the fitbit, telling it she went to bed at 9:00 AM, but it never corrects back past midnight.  She has small wrists and suffers from RLS. 

Very infrequently (less than a dozen times over the last year) she'll get a full night analysis, like I do almost every night.

Weird.

So, if I am watching a movie which is more than an hour long, my fitbit will register that as being asleep? So are we supposed to get up and move in the middle of the movie?
