Sleep tracking graphic

[fridgitator]

My versa usually displays sleep patterns as a sort of bar graph, with colored areas reflecting three levels of sleep / wakefulness. Occasionally, it displays as a ribbon graph, with one continuous line. I very much prefer the latter. Is there a way to set it as the default?

There is no setting for that.  It always tries to get sleep stages, but sometimes it is not able to; then it goes back to the less meaningful display, sometimes because the tracker was sliding around so could not get good heart rating throughout the night.

See Why don't I see sleep stages today?  for some possible causes and solutions, and articles before and after to lern more about sleep tracking.

Thanks for your response I read the linked pages. Where do I find the "Begin sleep now" option? It says in the Fitbit ap. Is that the one on my computer, phone?

[JohnnyRow]

Re-read that carefully.  It say 'begin sleep now' will prevent you from getting sleep stages - that is exactly what you do not want to use.

But it is on the phone app.  Click the sleep tile, then the plus sign in upper right corner.

I think I found the solution. I had to replace the original band, because I broke the original. I got a nice one from Oitom through Amazon. It was only about twelve bucks, and it's steel with a magnet closure. It holds the device perfectly where it needs to be. Since I got it, my sleep readings have been accurate with only two exceptions.
