Sense Throwing Away First Half of Sleep

[Leha]

Hi: I have to get up around midnight to take medication, but when I do, my Sense resets and throws away the whole first couple of hours of my sleep. I have checked for separate entries, but it’s not doing that. Also, even if it was, I would lose all of my deep sleep

info, since I front load deep sleep. This feels wrong. Why does the Sense not wait through these brief periods? It’s barely longer than a bathroom visit. I would like to know exactly how long I have before this reset is triggered. It seems like not long enough, especially since I know many others have the same problem, and it’s got to be ridiculously easy to fix. 

I will just add that historically, there is evidence to show that a brief awakening period in the middle of the night is perfectly normal and even healthy. Shouldn’t this be accounted for?

I go to the bathroom at night and get back in bed. The sleep session is not affected. I have a clock I. The bathroom and have glanced at it to see what time it is. I. The morning when I look at my heart rate, Spo2, etc, I see the visit. However my sleep stage is not interrupted. I also take an afternoon nap.  The watch picks this up and I have 2 sleep sessions. If the nap is less than 3 there is no metrics on the map though.

I’m glad it works for you. When I get up to take my meds, I also typically go to the bathroom, so it’s probably a little longer than your routine.

Specifically, I am asking the Fitbit developers exactly how long I have before the sleep cycle restarts. Then at least I will know what I’m working with.

Could it be possible that you have your sleep sensitivity level to sensitive? I have mine set to normal.
