Smart Alarms that Wake You More Naturally (eg. in Light Sleep Stage) for Charge 3

[wilcoxon]

This is another suggestion that was implemented for Ionic and Versa but not Charge 3...

I just got my Fitbit flex and I think it's fantastic.  If it monitors your sleep though it will have a good idea of when you're in deep (REM) sleep and when you're in lighter sleep.  You cycle between these two during the night on a pretty reliable pattern, and they're easy to tell apart as you don't move around while you're in REM sleep.  At least not as I understand things.

Could an update for the Fitbit modify the alarm feature please to wake you up as close as possible to your chosen time, but NOT during REM sleep?

This will allow you to wake more naturally, feeling refreshed, rather than how unpleasant it is when your alarm goes off in REM sleep.

I fully support having this feature for Charge 3.

Everything is perfect about it except that it does not comprise the Smart Alarm feature... It's a pity as sleep quality is of huge importance for health; Smart Alarm helps waking up in a good mood.

I also would like this feature for Charge 3 very much. Currently, I use an app where you put your smartphone near your bed, it's somehow working but the sleep report is nowhere close to the detailed and precise one from my Charge 3. Upvote!
