The benchmark data is great, but I can't help wondering whether it's just an average of data collected by Fitbit users, or a recommended amount of sleep by sleep type?
I can't imagine being awake 1/5 of the night is healthy for any age or gender.

Hi @Chardy19,
The benchmarks aren't numbers from Fitbit, but from sleep studies from the National Institutes of Health. They are a comparison to others your age range and gender, and not really recommended amounts. So it's just a comparison to other people.

@WavyDavey Thanks! In my business we create our own benchmarks from historical data. I think people are taking these as "good" but they're just "average".

You're welcome. If you read this article, under the Source link, it lists the study the benchmarks came from.

My sleep goal is to sleep in each of the best hotels in the world, on those pretty beds. Quite interesting challenge, you know. Who's with me? 🙂
