Sleep log confused

ANSWERED
Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I'm reporting this as a possible bug.

 

I slept from Saturday night 11:28pm to 7:11am Sunday morning. I slept from Sunday night 9:27pm to 5:43am Monday morning. That should mean a bit less then 8 hours minus awake periods credited to Sunday, and a bit more than 8 hours minus awake periods credited to Monday.

 

According to the sleep log I was awake from 11:02pm Sunday to 12:24am Monday, although I was not aware of any such gap in my sleep.

 

However, and this is the bug, the sleep log displays it as

 

   Mon 12:24am - 5:43am

   Sun 9:27pm - 11:02pm

   Sun 11:28pm - 7:11am

 

and incorrectly adds the beginning of my Sunday night sleep to the Sunday total instead of the Monday total. After subtracting wake periods, it shows Sunday sleep as 8hr 3min, and Monday sleep as only 4hr 29min.

 

 

Is the sleep calculation confused by the first sleep period on Sunday night all being earlier times than the start of sleep the night before?

@bugstomper thank you for your clarification. This is how sleep works. Since your sleep didn't reach the following day (at least the first part) it was added to the same day. This has happened to me several times when I have had difficulties sleeping or when I take a nap on weekends. Thankfully most of the time my sleep is uninterrupted (albeit not sufficient enough but that's another story). You can try editing your sleep logs so it shows as only one log by going to the sleep area on your app or website.

@bugstomper Welcome! It's good that the community is growing! Sorry to hear that your sleep is being recorded with gaps. Remember that your Versa will start recording your sleep after it detects an hour of inactivity. If you have light sleep or move too much during the night this may affect the sleep recording. I would like to know if this happened again. How well did you sleep that night (maybe you were uncomfortable for one or other reason and moved too much that night)? As a suggestion try wearing your Versa on your non dominant hand so you don't move it too much while sleeping and you can select that hand as your dominant on your settings to decrease the sensitivity on your Versa. You can also try restarting it by doing the following:

 

1.- Press and hold the back (left) and bottom buttons until you see the Fitbit logo on the screen. This should take less than 10 seconds.
2.- Let go of the buttons.
3.- If your Fitbit watch doesn't work normally, use the instructions in How do I turn off my Fitbit device? to turn your watch off and on again.

@AlvaroFitbit Thank you for the reply, but the problem I am posting about is not the gap. I understand how that works, and maybe I did have a restless hour and a half that I don't remember. Please look at the times and dates, and the three log entries again. The log is showing the first part of Monday's sleep as part of Sunday's sleep. In other words, I slept Saturday night 11:28pm to Sunday morning 7:11am. That is shown in the bottom line as Sunday sleep. Then the next night I slept from Sunday night 9:27pm to Monday morning 5:43am, with an awake period recorded from 11:02pm to 12:24am. That first segment, which was all before midnight shows up in the log as the middle entry labelled "Sunday" even though it is the first part of my "Monday" sleep. In the graph of hours slept, that 88 minutes is added into the Sunday total, but it should be added into the Monday total.

 

Perhaps there is a bug when there is an awake period that encompasses midnight. Or perhaps when there is a sleep segment on the second night that starts and ends at clock times that are both earlier than the start of sleep the previous night and is before midnight. Can you please report these dates and times and log results to the programmers to see if there is a bug to fix?

 

Thanks,

Editing the log did help. I can see how the app would log it like it did because that's what a nap during the day should show up like. I merged the two sleep periods into one and now it looks right to me.

@bugstomper sorry for the delay in my response. Happy to hear that you could edit your sleep log and that it shows correct now on your account and thank you for confirming this at it may help other members in the same situation.

 

I'll be around!
