Hello,

 

Does anyone know if  there is a place here on the site that describes how the sleep score is calculated?

 

The scores I get I cannot figure out how they're calculated.  I get an 80 on one night of 7 hours sleep and a 75 on the next with 7 hours.  Baffling!

 

Thanks - Erich

@Erich777   Users who pay for the Premium program get more detailed sleep score information, in addition to the Guided Programs and Coach.

 

50% of the score comes from Time Asleep.  But the time you spend in bed, but still awake, or if you wake up several times, it seems like the score will drop.  I suspect Fitbit uses average sleep times based on age and gender to set the benchmark.

 

25% of the score comes from time spent in deep and REM sleep.  You have access to your 30 day average and the benchmarks for your age without needing Premium.

 

25% of the score comes from how much time your heart rate is below your RHR and how restless your sleep was.

 

All this goes into a proprietary algorithm and you get a sleep score.

P.S. How do I see the 30 days of REM and deep detail on the dashboard?  When I go to the sleep page, I see the 30 columns of sleep days (total hours / day), but no totals (monthly) by the awake, deep and rem metrics.  I'm not seeing it anyway (if it's part of the non-premium display).

 

Thanks again!

 

Erich
