Did you mean: 

does it matter where my versa is on my arm in order for the sleep tracker to track?

 Can someone please tell me how the sleep tracker works? It worked great the 1st night very detailed. But now it only tracks asleep/ restless/ awake. Does it have anything to do with the heart rate monitor being on/ off? or where it lays on my wrist? 

I am sleeping more than 3 hours so I know that is not the reason.

Does it somehow monitor my breathing? IDK 

Please inform me!

To get Detailed Sleep logs (sounds like that's what you are looking for) you need to have the heart rate sensor on and you need good detection with your body.  Did you turn the HR sensor off?

@Isamaur @kcronin Welcome to the Fitbit Community! I hope you're doing well! I would like to add the following to @kcronin great explanation. 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.

Let me know how it goes!
