Compare sleep cycle to heartbeat?

[PerfectBlue]

Is there any way that I can compare my heartbeat to my sleep cycle. My heartbeat seems to be increasing to waking levels at times when I'm certain that I was asleep, and I sometimes wake up with steps on my step counter that shouldn't be there. So I'm either sleep walking or tossing and turning a lot, and I'd like to know whether this coincides with REM sleep or not.

Hi @PerfectBlue,

I don't think currently there is a way to overlay HR and sleep data. You could print out the HR chart, then mark with a pen where REM sleep occurs.

I would think the extra sleep activity is probably triggering Awake time more than REM, but let us know what you find out.

What is your average REM and Awake time?

@PerfectBlueIf you are using a wrist type Fitbit with the Workout option I use this if I want to record my sleeping HR down to about a heart beat every 2 seconds.

I also have created a manual activity which I create through my phone through the Weekly Exercise tile by tapping the stopwatch.  The example below shows the Manual Activity method and the Sleep cycles..  It has picked up my bathroom breaks.  The number of steps in that sleep cycle were 138 and because the Fitbit wrist type are movement detectors you will always get some steps and these include my bathroom visits.  The scale at the bottom of the sleep graph is the actual time in the morning.. Whereas the HR graph is just the total time from 1am.
