Sleep score not picking up my interrupted sleep patterns

[NanaSid]

I had knee replacement surgery 4 days ago and have to get up every 4 hours to take pain meds.  I've noticed since my sleep has been off because of surgery, my Fitbit is not picking up the sleep I am getting when I'm able to sleep between times of taking my pain meds. My score only picks up the last 4 hours of sleep before I would be up for the day.  My sleep is set to sensitive and I've been able to sleep fairly well in between taking pain meds.

Also, how can I set a silent alarm on my fit bit to use as a reminder to take my medications instead of setting up a reminder on my phones calendar?

Hi, @NanaSid, welcome to the community, you may find these articles of interest How do I track my sleep with my Fitbit device? and How do I manage alarms on my Fitbit device? Page 29 in the manual offers confirmation.

I hope this helps but if you are still stuck please post here again.

Greetings.  It is possible that your Inspire 2 is picking up the sleep but failing to display it on the app.  This happens to me all the time.  When this happens, I can most often get it to display all of the sleep by editing the start and/or end time.  Go to where it is showing your data for the day.  There should be a pencil icon near the top somewhere.  Click that, and you should be able to see the "sleep start" and "sleep end."  Write these times down in case something goes wrong (in which case you can put them back in).  Change the times as appropriate and save it.  There will be a pause while things recalculate.  If Fitbit did record the sleep, it will all be there, including some awake time when you got up to take your meds.  If Fitbit did NOT record the sleep, it will show you a big block of sleep time without any of the detailed sleep stage information.  In that case, you should delete the long sleep, put the old info back in, and ADD a block of time approximating what Fitbit left out.  This added interval will very likely show "non detailed" info, but occasionally it will show the detailed info there.     

I hope this helps.  This is a known/recognized problem.
