I love the detailed sleep analysis in the Premium feature and I only ever use that portion. Please Consider having a Separate Premium Sleep Module At a lower subscription rate.

This is needed because:
Many have bought fitbits this year to keep an eye on health metrics but like me with obstructive sleep apnoea, asthma and diabetes etc. Do not use the workouts because they are for able-bodied. Do not use your mindfulness because like me they already have sleep support, I do not have any bluetooth or wifi active over night.
Hi @Hewyk, and thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about adding a separate Premium Sleep Module on the Fitbit app. We rely on feedback like yours to help us develop products and features that we know our community wants to see.

I just made this suggestion to Premium support ... even the agent thought it would be valuable.
Actually, my suggestion is slightly different but the effect is the same. I was suggesting having the ability to have sleep (or a variety of single modules) available as a "Premium Lite". Then as people start using premium and get used to it, they may get drawn towards other aspects of premium and want to upgrade to full premium.
So for me and the others on this post, it would be the sleep module, but for someone they may want to track just their steps ... and then their calories ... and then you've got them.
The sleep functionality is the best part of fitbit. It is something more people would pay for if it was more affordable. The price for premium includes activities that can be obtained anywhere, but the sleep functionality is unique. I believe it would bring more fitbit users to use this premium functionality if it was separate.
I would gladly pay a "Premium Lite" fee of $4.95 per month or a discounted annual fee of $49.95 to have all sleep analyses available to me. As someone who suffers from sleep apnea this would be wonderful. My wife said she would pay it in an instant by the way.
That's exactly the kind of price I was thinking of mikey1818 ... about $5/month or $50/year. It's not a huge discount from $6.67 that the annual membership is but it's a psychological thing ... that people will feel like their getting a deal that they feel better about. I have 3 different sleep disorders (one of which is Sleep Apnea) ... so I would definitely pay $5/month ... but I just can't bring myself to pay for full premium when I know I'm not going to be using it (at least not any time in the near future!)
Any discount would make it worthwhile for those of us that do not use all of the premium services. Let's hope it is taken under consideration and possibly announced as our devices start getting shipped out in 3 weeks.
Introduce a reduced subscription which ONLY shows ALL sleep statistics not just sleep score. So, we do not have to pay the cost of a new device (£80) when sleep is the only premium feature we are interested in or use.
Hi @SleepyMare, thanks for explaining why you would like to have the option to have sleep analysis on a separate Premium Sleep Module. 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.
