Allow Heart Rate Variability tracking for people who work night shift

Please analyze HRV for sleep during daytime. With Health Metrics, my HRV shows 0's throughout the week. I will sometimes sleep throughout the night on the weekends I'm off work, like from 11pm to 6am, and I will actually get the HRV reading for that day. My normal sleep schedule on work days, 2pm to 9:30pm, I get 0's. It's been like this for years.
This is needed because:
It's unfair for people working night shift to be penalized. Is there a reason HRV is not tracked for daytime sleep originally?
I'd use this: Daily

I agree with OP - I work a 24/7 shift pattern. I would like HRV readings whilst having to sleep during the day.

The Fitbit app redesign as part of the Public Preview, shows all my HRV I've been missing in the old design. Fitbit had been collecting and scoring my HRV this whole time. It only took the new design for the stats to show up on my Sleep page. Anyone else with 0's on your HRV, accept the invitation to the Public Preview and you'll see all the data going back months, lol.
