Comparing Sleep Data with Other Trackers

[Casyis]

Hi, folks.

Since the 5th of this month, I've been downloading my FitBit (Flex) data into a spreadsheet using an automated script so I can further analyze my sleep data. Using sensitive mode on my non-dominant hand, I average 13 periods of restlessness/awakenings per night, and average 4.5 hours of sleep per night.

I've been reading here and there questions regarding FitBit's accuracy, and so I decided to compare graphs between it and Sleep As Android (app). Here's my results for one night in comparison:

Except for the activity shown in the first hour of the Sleep As Android graph, the rest appears consistent. 

If anything this gives me more confidence in the device and reinforces my thought that I should take the results to my physician and undergo a sleep study. I'm curious if anyone else has made similar comparisons and if they were or were not consistent.

Cheers.

@Casyis  Nice comparison.

I compare the ChargeHR on my left wrist with my Flex on the right wrist. The ChargeHR does auto tracking and I have to tap the Flex to put it to sleep. They are very close to having the same times and quality of sleep.

Welcome to the forums.

I was wondering if Fitbit could market he things easier allowing us to compare our sleep patterns in the app with the average data collected from other users.

The exemple would be;

if you have a certain amount of activity you should be able to compare your sleep patterns with bunch of persons who do the same amount of exercise you do.
