Did you mean: 

2 hours sleep and lots of restlessness

ANSWERED

Hi I have switched my tracker to sensitve and I have gone from avaergaing 7 hours sleep to now just two or three.  Which one is right?  Its not showing me as awake - just restless.  I sleep by myself and I know I snore, could this be it?  I am worried I might have sleep apnea but wouldnt this show me being awake and not just restless?  Thanks

You are probably getting the full 7.  When the setting is sensitive it is tracking every little thing your body does.  Even if you rollover you might be completely asleep but the tracker will say you are restless.  The only true way to know if you have sleep apnea is to do a sleep study.  I suggest you talk to your doctor and see what they say.  Just remember the fitbit is a tool, not a true medical device.

I have had a sleep study and I have mild sleep apnea ( not enough to justify a cpap).  However, when I changed the fitbit sleep to sensitive I went from averaging 7 hrs sleep at 92% efficiency to just over 4 hrs at 50% efficiency!  (As you, hours of reslessness).  

 

I have restless legs and primary limb movement during the nite.  I'm thinking (hoping) that since the fitbit measures movement, this sensitivity setting means nothing for somone who moves alot during sleep, but is still asleep.

 

I'm going to move my fitbit back to nomral 🙂  I don't need anything else to worry about.
