Can you tell me the sleep efficiency formula used by the Fitbit API?

I've seen a feed previously asked about sleep efficiency formulas by other developers.

Don't Fitbit still share the sleep efficiency formula?
The sleep efficiency value provided by the Fitbit API is different from the sleep efficiency formula known in other studies, so I am wondering if I can use the sleep efficiency value provided by the Fitbit API in the paper I am writing. This is because writing a paper requires a clear reference of how that value was calculated.

I calculated the value using the formula below.
time asleep/time asleep + time restless/awake * 100
minutesAsleep / (timeInBed - minutesToFallAsleep - minutesAfterWakeup)

Please let me know if there are any updates afterwards.
