Difference between "awake" and getting up

How does Fitbit tell the difference?  For example, me getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night is seen as "awake" (I assume), not that I'm actually up.

I assume it is based on how long you are awake, although I suppose it could look at steps too.  If it is too long (I don't know what that time would be), it will break it into separate sleep segments.  If that happens, sometimes you can edit your sleep log to treat it all as one sleep.

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
