Autodetect overriding Manual sleep mode

‎03-09-2016 17:25

‎03-09-2016 17:25

I have a FItbit Blaze and when I enter manual sleep mode from my iphone app in the morning when I select Awake I get an error message a sleep log is already created.

 

I have periods throughout the night where I wake up for an hour or more and what I am getting is up to 2 - 3 seperate readings from the autodetect mode.

 

I am trying to use manual mode to 1) determine my initial time to fall asleep and 2) my sleep effeciancy for the night.

 

When the autodetect is turning off and on (due to me waking up) i get errounous %s.  For instance last night I got 4.5 hours asleep broken up over 8.25 hours with 3 seperate autodetect lasting roughly 1.5 hours each.  This gave me 91%, 93% and a 90% sleep effeciency when it really is closer to 55% effecency.

 

I was hoping the manual start would stop this behavour of the autodetect and give me one entry.  But for 3 nights in a row I get the same errror as listed above (Sleep entry already exists for this time period).

 

I am hoping for a solution different from deleting multiple entries and correcting the first one as the others have restless periods.  I am coming from the Band 2 which the autodetect did not override the manual start.

 

Thanks

I had this happen to me too.  What I did was delete all of extra automatic record and then I edited the remaining one to my actual time I went to bed and when I got up.  That took care of it.  However, it is a manual process...

 

Do you have an old Fitbit (I have a One) that you can wear for sleeping so you wear it instead of the Blaze to do manual tracking without the extra effort?
