Add the sleep data together please.

I'm an insomniac, (especially when I have an abscess on a 30yr old dental crown & post ATM). So my sleep is very often fragmented, with large periods of wakefulness between sleep sessions.

For a failed night, I would far rather know the total Deep sleep time, REM etc rather than for just one session. Why can the sessions not be joined together to do this, even if it means a horrifically long yellow 'AWAKE' stripe in-between them?

@matirdamb The sleep and awake time is summed for you.  Unless you mean that your awake time in between your sleep at night is so long that Fitbit considered you to have 2 sleep sessions in the course of a night?  If so, you must be tossing and turning so much it thinks you are fully awake and no longer within the same sleep cycle anymore.

I have been awake before and unable to resume sleep but I wasn't really moving and for the 30 minutes or so that happened, it had correctly notated as awake time during the night with light sleep notated on either ends of the awake times.

Hi @matirdamb   You should be able to combine fragmented sessions with some sleep editing.  Fitbit recommends deleting the shorter sleep session, then editing the longer session to include the full time in bed.

• Tap on your sleep tile, review the data, and decide which is the shorter sleep session
• Tap on the dots in the upper right, then Delete Sleep -- delete the shorter session
• You might have to go back to the Today page before you now edit the other session
• Tap on the dots and tap on Edit Sleep
• Depending on which session you deleted, edit the start or end time to reflect your full time in bed

An alternative is delete all the sleep data, then manually log the sleep.  You might or might not get sleep stages with this method, just sleep patterns.

Fitbit periodically refines and updates its sleep algorithm to capture continuous sleep for most users.  As a long time user, it seems like deciding on a "break point" to separate sleep into two sessions is one thing that gets tweaked.  Adust it in one direction and some users wind up affected and unhappy.  Adjust it in the other direction and different users are affected.
