Sense not recording sleep stages

[Blazinpistol]

I am having the same problem. But, I did choose the "Begin Sleep Now" option on the app. Would that cause it to not record my sleep stages? 

Thanks in advance for any reply or help.

Hello @Blazinpistol. Welcome to the community forums! 

Thank you very much for the detailed information. I'd like to let you know that there are a few scenarios such as using the "Begin Sleep Now" option that prevents sleep stages to be recorded. 

At this time, I'd recommend taking into consideration the following information and tips: 

1. If you slept in a position that prevented your device from getting a consistent heart-rate reading or wore it too loosely. For best results, wear your device higher on your wrist (about 2-3 finger widths above your wrist bone). The band should feel secure but not too tight.
2. If you used the Begin Sleep Now option in the Fitbit app (instead of simply wearing your device to bed). For more information on automatic sleep tracking, see How do I track my sleep with my Fitbit device?
3. If you slept for less than 3 hours.
4. If your device’s battery is critically low.

Hope this helps.
