Edit Time of Daily Reset of Stats / Add Nightshift

[Christi2]

Hi, It would be great if users could change the daily reset of stats to a different hour. We night owls who go sleep late after midnight now have to calculate the differences in our heads and that's not ideal. Thanks!

Many of us work graveyard, have sleep issues, or other reasons why the traditional "midnight to midnight" tracking schedule won't work. Is there a way to track the activity done in the last 24 hrs when looking at the app. Showing "midnight to midnight" when looking at the calendar is still helpful.

It would be nice if your features were more customizable for those of us that work night shift. Like customizing what time your stats reset instead of at midnight and if we could do move reminders from say 7p to 5a while we are working.

Your Fitbit app should have a function that allows the user to rest their steps to zero when they choose. Having it done automatically at midnight does not suit everyone’s schedule or purpose.

Just got a Versa 2 & it seems to be counting extra steps & cals. I don't doubt that i can change settings etc to make it more accurate but that'll take time to figure out. It would be very useful if i could reset the step count & any other stat to help get a more accurate reading until i figure out how to configure the settings to my needs

Hi @SeanKR1987, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to edit time of daily reset of stats. Thanks for sharing your feedback. I've moved it into a similar request.  A lot of users are asking for this option, I hope we receive updates soon.

I worked as a bartender before the pandemic, I've always been a night owl, yadda,yadda,yadda....
I just got an e-mail today that Google has bought up FitBit. At first, I was disappointed, but hopefully Google will hire employees who don't ignore suggestions from their users for six years running. This would not be a difficult feature. CONSIDER IT!!

Although I know this topic exists from 2018, it needs to be revisited. Have a time scale for 3rd Shift workers so we get an accurate analysis. (10pm-10am) Somewhere around this time scale.

[JuanFitbit]

Hi @Rayt2112 , thank you for sharing your idea about the night shift workers. 

In order to review it, could you please elaborate your idea? What features would you like to be adapted? Sleep record, reminders to move, not resetting at midnight?

The more information you can provide us, the better our team can check your idea.

I'll be expecting your reply

[Rayt2112]

Hi. Thanks for your response.  I’ll give you an example. I sleep during the day.  I go to work at 10:30pm. So what steps and other features recorded for my time at work reset at12:00am. I have the whole night still to work. All the steps I’ve made from that time between are gone. If there was a night shift mode, they would reset at 12:00pm instead. There needs to be a way to adjust the setting for day shift worker and the night shift worker. The sleep tracker is also messed up cause most people sleep during the day. But like everyone else’s Fitbit, the sleep tracker quit working anyway. I hope that explains it. The Green lights on the back of my watch quit working and I won’t  be replacing it. Thank you for your services.

Not sure if anyone has made this suggestion yet but I think it would be nice to be able to change the time your day ends and when it starts. It would be nice to change the time the day ends instead of it being at 12am. Mainly for logging stuff like food or exercise.

[Shadowdream]

I work nights, and would like to change the daily reset time to reflect this. I would like my tracking for the day to start when I wake up, but setting a specific time would be fine also.

Have the option to change when the daily stats reset, as opposed to just midnight.

Allow a user to set a custom time for a “day” to begin or end. Days currently roll over at midnight.

Please offer a mode for night shift workers.

[DavideFitbit]

Hi @KTWA, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us about the possibility of having a night shift mode (so the step count that be reset at a different time during the day), this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here as it is not currently planned; this helps to keep the forums more organized. 

In addition, remember that Fitbits can track sleep at any time of day but if you're wearing a device with heart rate, your device needs at least 3 hours of sleep data to estimate your sleep stages, so you won’t see sleep stages for shorter naps. All of our wrist-based devices automatically detect your sleep, meaning you just need to wear your tracker or watch to bed. Auto-detection is based on your movement. When you haven’t moved for about an hour, your device assumes that you’re asleep. Additional data—such as the length of time your movements are indicative of sleep behavior (such as rolling over, etc.), help confirm that you’re asleep. 

[SunsetRunner]

I think adding a setting to allow users to adjust their day start and end times would be really neat! Example: having step count reset at noon instead of midnight
