Make Fitbit Sleep Profile be based on user's age

FitBit's sleep profiles (and probably other stats) need to be based on user age.

Moderator edit: Clarified subject
This is needed because:
Any number of studies show that sleep needs and patterns vary significantly over the life span. Folks in their 20s have very different sleep patterns than do folks in their 60s or 70s. Yet FitBit's sleep profiles do nothing to reflect this variability. As such, they're pretty much useless.
I'd use this: Daily

HI @MMcKaibab - what makes you think they aren't?

Heart rate zones are adjusted by age but the general sleep goal may be too high or too low and this can/should be adjusted manually to suit your sleep patterns specific to you.
