The Fitbit support does not have a graph that I can download that shows my sleeping heart rate that I can show my cardiologist.  Although I can see the graph each night on my android LG phone, there isn't a download to show each night for 30 days.

you say:  Resting heart rate (RHR) is derived from a person's average sleeping heart rate.

 

Two questions: 

1) my sleep score is negatively affected each night because my sleeping heart rate is higher than my resting heart rate, for the most part, each night.  How is it possible that my sleeping heart rate is mostly higher than my resting heart rate each night if, in fact, RHR is derived from avg sleeping heart rate?  I do not drink caffeine, alcohol and I have no illness nor a stressy lifestyle.  I get in bed with a book at 9pm and average 7.5 hrs sleep/night.  My sleep score is often in the 60s and 70s due to my high sleeping heart rate.

 

2)  why can't I find any information about this phenomenon on the fitbit website?

Hi @katydid49 welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for sharing your feedback about sleep tracking during night. 

 

We’re very happy to let you know that this suggestion has been released on Fitbit Premium, our new health and fitness subscription service. Fitbit Premium includes graphs to illustrate how much your heart rate slows down during sleep and how this affects your sleep quality. Fitbit Premium will also have a Sleep Score where you can receive a nightly score in the Fitbit app for better insight into your sleep quality. Your score is based on heart rate (sleeping and resting), restlessness, time awake and Sleep Stages.

 

I was making some research and was able to find some feature requests that you might be interested in:

 

Please cast a vote for this idea and leave a comment to show support for them. The more votes and comments an idea has the more visibility and momentum it gains. You can learn more about how Fitbit decides what suggestions get released in our FAQs.

 

For anything else you would like to see implemented in this feature for the future, consider visiting our Feature Suggestions board. Look under the label "Premium" or "Sleep" for existing ideas that might match your own and vote!  

 

Let me know if there's anything else I may assist you with.

I am sooo with you on this! Fitbit need to start giving answers on how this calculation is even possible when some of us experience higher heart rates asleep than when resting. 
i need to know if this is some weird algorithm issue or that something weird is happening which explains why I’m always tired when I wake up…  doctors won’t take me seriously as soon as I mention Fitbit data!
