Very new Versa user, question about setting sleep times

[Mooseboy08]

One of the reasons I bought a FitBit was to help track my sleep. What I'd like to do is to have my stats reported in one "sleep session", for lack of a better term, rather than by day.

I have my Target Sleep Schedule set up for 9:30 PM Bedtime, and 4:15 AM Wake up time (which is normal for my weekdays), but the reports are still broken up by days, so it shows last night (9:15—11:59) as a separate record from this morning (12:00—4:15)

How do I set it up so that it shows my entire sleep from last night? No doubt it's something I haven't set correctly.

TIA!

@Mooseboy08 Welcome to the Fitbit Community! I hope you're doing well! Your Versa should detect all your sleep in one log the only thing that can affect it is if it was interrupted at some point (getting up to the bathroom or waking up for a period of time (your heart rate and hand movements will increase and the sensors on the Versa will detect this). Still you can try restarting your Versa 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. 

You can read more about how sleep is recorded here.

Let me know how it goes!

Thanks very much. I've restarted my Versa, and will see how it records my sleep tonight.

I'm either confused on what I should be seeing, or I'm not doing things right somehow. Here's how I have my Versa set up:

So I would think that it would start tracking at 9:15 PM and stop tracking at 4:15 PM, right?

In the overall view, here's what I see, which looks right so far:

But when I drill down, here's what I see:

 

What I would expect to see is one report for the whole night's sleep, instead of two reports that go from 9:21 to 12:08 and 1:46 to 4:12.

So am I expecting something that it's not designed to do, or am I operating it wrong? Thanks!

Well, we're getting closer… but believe me, I didn't wake up at 2:07 AM! Does anybody have an idea about this?

Oh, and it is kinda funny… there was some weird noisy bird outside last night that sounded like it was screaming. Woke me up right about 12:30. The sleep tracker verifies that! I was wondering if it was a dream this morning.

Maybe you can try to do a manual entry, see if Versa would then follow and complied

Your target sleep schedule is just a guideline that the Versa compares your actual sleep schedule to.  It doesn’t start and stop your sleep tracking.  What you want the Versa to do is auto-detect your sleep, that way it will give you your sleep stages (ie, you don’t want to manually start and stop your sleep  otherwise you won’t get sleep stages).

I get a number of “awake” times during the night that i don’t remember being awake (others I do remember being awake), but the way Fitbit explains it is that they’re too short and you’re too sleepy to remember them.  Since it’s largely spot on with catching when i fall asleep/wake up, and the awake times I remember, make me more confident the rest is pretty accurate, as well!

[Mooseboy08]

Oh, I totally agree that I'd like the Versa to auto-detect my sleep. It seems to have detected the start, but not the stop, since I woke up at 4:15.

I just changed from the Charge 2 to the Versa. You can look at my sleep stats and see when I changed. The Charge 2 shows my sleep as one continuous stream of data during the night with the average sleep of 7.5 hrs, however the Versa is usually an hour late on when I went to sleep and breaks my nights sleep into 2 or 3 files ending with a nights sleep of 2 or 3 hours. The Versa is always saying that my nights sleep was insufficient.

[Mooseboy08]

Yep, that's pretty much what I'm getting too.

[Mooseboy08]

Hey, this looks better now. I don't know what changed, but all of a sudden it seems to realize that I slept last night from 9:03 PM to 4:15 AM, and logged it as one session, rather than two different sessions. I haven't done anything different… maybe it just needed to get used to me?

I can also see where I woke up about 3:30, thinking, "Hey, I could be ready to get up now" since I was feeling well rested. Maybe it was more time in deep sleep that helped.

I got my Versa several weeks ago, mainly to track my sleep.  Boy, have I been disappointed!  Like several others in this forum, I either get two sets of sleep data for one night or it doesn't start my sleep until several hours after I know I have fallen asleep.  I've tried several of the recommendations on this forum..... resetting the Versa, tightening the band at night, but nothing seems to work.  Obviously, this is a known issue to Fitbit so WHEN WILL IT BE FIXED?

[Mooseboy08]

Yeah, unfortunately I spoke too soon! That one night was the only night that I got reliable start and stop times. I've even gone to manually starting and stopping (Going to bed, I'm awake now), and still get the same very unreliable results.
