Sleep reminder on fitbit instead of phone notification

[Meretseger]

I would like the sleep reminders to not be a phone notification, but instead, a short buzz on the fit bit.

This way I don't have to wake up fully to check my phone just in case it was an important text message. Nothing makes me and my partner more alert then my phone making unnecessary noices at night.

Just one short vibration is all I need to know it is time for bed.

I have this feature on My Fitbit Alta HR. It buzzes and then displays a message saying time for sleep.

You don't need a feature added for this - you can just go into the settings in the fitbit app and set the watch to allow notifications from the fitbit app. Then the notification for going to sleep will come through on your watch and you won't have to check your phone. 

Or you could set a silent alarm for your sleep time.

Thanks for this, will the reminder still happen if I have my Bluetooth off
on my phone? Never mind, I will just try it out.
Thanks again!

Hey @Meretseger! Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. We look forward to hearing what other community members think about the sleep reminders. See you around.

@lyssfitz So I tried it. I am now receiving the sleep notification through my Fitbit but I still get the notification on my phone as well! The idea is to have the Fitbit sleep reminder on the Fitbit only, not also on my phone. A small vibration is enough to remind me to go to bed, and if I am already in bed it will not wake me up. But because I also get the reminder on my phone, making my text message noise, it fully wakes me up and I angrily delete the message.

Agreed! My kids Ace 2, charge 3 and my own versa 2 are the same, bedtime notifications should be on the fitbit, for all fitbit models. If I wanted a bedtime reminder on my phone, I'd set up on my google calendar...
