Just wondering if there are standards for various ages, genders, and lifestyles, that people should get some percentage-range of: REM, Light, or Deep sleep. I tend to have mostly light sleep, with very little Deep Sleep or REM.

Hi @Rocketr,
That's an interesting question. I saw an article here that lists sleep time by age. But I didn't see anything that broke it down to sleep stages. The percentages for Fitbit users are:
I've read that with age, it becomes harder to get deep sleep especially.

Bright light and lack of melatonin reduce REM and deep sleep. Try limiting electronics and lights in the evening and take melatonin pills (or drink a big glass of 100% tart cherry juice). The nice thing about your Fitbit is that you can experiment and see what works.
