Last night when I went to sleep I told the Fitbit app that I was starting sleep. Every other night I have just let the tracker auto-detect sleep. This morning I have no sleepstsges data on the app. Could this be because I used the app rather than the tracker? I got so many hours I really wanted to see how I slept and am disappointed!

Yes, that will be the reason. Fitbit say:

 

WHY DON'T I SEE SLEEP STAGES TODAY?

There are a few scenarios where you might see your sleep pattern (which shows your time asleep, restless, and awake) instead of sleep stages:

  • If you slept in a position that prevented your device from getting a consistent heart-rate reading or wore it too loosely. For best results, wear your device higher on your wrist (about 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone). The band should feel secure but not too tight.
  • If you used the Begin Sleep Now option in the Fitbit app (instead of simply wearing your device to bed). For more information on automatic sleep tracking, see How do I track my sleep?
  • If you slept for less than 3 hours.
  • If your device’s battery is critically low.
