Add custom notes to Sleep Log or Rate Sleep

[kmc777]

In order to effectively use the sleep log to improve sleep quality, I think it might be helpful to be able to annotate each log entry with comments about things that might affect sleep quality (eg alcohol consumption, use of sleeping tablet, late caffeine intake, late exercise, meditation/ relaxation, consumption of unusual foods etc). Then, on review of several weeks/ months of sleep logs, patterns may become evident.

Would be great to have an area to add personal note to the sleep tracker logs.

Hi @cakrzyzanowski, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to add personal notes on sleep logs in the Fitbit app. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Under Consideration". You can learn more about it here. I hope to see you around.

Having the possibility to add a comment with details for each activity and night of sleep.

In the premium sleep analysis section, I’d like to see the ability to annotate the previous night’s activity that may have effected the sleep score or restoration analysis. Eg. had alcoholic beverages; watched scary movie; had a fight with husband/friend/kid; walked for 30 minutes before retiring etc.

Hi everyone, and thanks for sharing this suggestion. We’re very happy to let you know that this has been released on the Fitbit app. You can now go to the sleep tile, tap on any sleep log, scroll down and there should be a + sign with a Sleep Journal.

So, I have just read a post from 25th Sept 2020 that this feature is now available, but it doesn't seem available on my Charge 2. Is my fitbit too old for this feature? It's the app that has been updated, so it should be available to me also I would think. I would love to know, because when I follow the instructions to add a log entry, there is no "plus" sign on the screen. Thanks.

[XT400]

Me too. I cannot find the functionality that Fitbit claim to be released. I can go to the sleep log and change my start and stop times but cannot enter notes 😢. Steve

[irishaideen]

I have the same problem. I've updated the app on my phone but still don't
see it. I hope it doesn't mean its only available in the premium version!

[VRES]

I’m not able to use this new feature either 🙁

I was super excited to get the news about this feature finally being added, however I too am disappointed to discover the feature is not truly available. My Fitbit Versa2 is fully updated and I do pay for the premium service, yet I don’t have a plus sign to add notes anywhere within my Fitbit stats or sleep log. So, fellow users, please don’t subscribe to premium in hopes of getting to add sleep notes! It does have other features I think are worth it, but still no sleep notes. 😢 Why get our hopes up? Was this news a prank? I’m wondering if the post that this feature was “released” needs to be reported?? Maybe it was hacked?? Otherwise we were lied to. Very disappointed in Fitbit for wasting my time trying to “fix” the supposed issue causing me not to have access to this long awaited feature. Does anyone have access to this plus sign to add sleep notes?? 🤔

[cakrzyzanowski]

I can't access it like everyone else and there's been no update to the FitBit Android app either.  I've been a Premium member for a while, so not sure if the enhancement will be for everyone or Premium only.Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S8.

[pandicorn]

Same here, feature also not working 😞

[PianoLady.Kansa]

I bought the FitBit and Premium, mostly to track my sleep. It would be great if, in the app, I could make a few notes about my sleep. For example, if I slept great, I could note what I did the night before that might have helped. Likewise, if my sleep was bad, note what may have caused it. To review these notes would be a big help. Thank you.

Hi @PianoLady.Kansa, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to add notes to Sleep. I've moved it into a similar suggestion which has been updated as "Released".I hope to see you around.

[PianoLady.Kansa]

I see you have released this, Add Notes to Sleep Log, but I am unable to access it on either my phone, Pixel 3XL, or my computer, Windows 10. Any help, please?

[YojanaFitbit]

Thanks for sharing this suggestion again, which has received votes from other community members. I’m happy to let you know that this suggestion has been picked up internally at Fitbit and is being considered by our team. This suggestion will either remain ‘Under Consideration’ until released, or else move to ‘Not Currently Planned’ if it’s not viable right now. Further updates will be posted here.

Please remember that if a suggestion is chosen for development, it can take some time before updates are available or a release is finalized, so thanks in advance for your patience.
