Fitbit not recording my sleep pattern

I set my fitbit for sleep when I go to bed and when I awake for the day I tap it to take it out of sleep mode.

When it syncs with my computer or ipad, it just shows what time I started it and stopped it  eg, 22:57 - 6:57 = 8h

 

I know that I was up at least twice diring the night but it is just a solid blue line.  Can you help me?

I would recommend sleeping more soundly, then your sleep pattern would match what your fitbit says 😜

 

I'm sorry I don't have a serious answer, but there is more than one way to sink a ship.

I don't have a fitbit myself yet, but I'm pretty sure I read a similar problem somewhere that was fixed by performing a reset... let me see if I can find it for you

Right, this is what I found https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/1041329-how-do-i-restart-my-tracker-

 

This is supposed to be a fix for problems including no tracking of movement. Of course this is based on the assumption that it has worked properly before. If not, you might want to read this https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/1230068-about-sleep-tracking and check sensitivity settings

I'm ambidextrous; ordinarily I use one hand for some things; the other for others.  Therefore, I can't "wear on non-dominant hand".  

1. Will Fitbit record hand movement on both sides?

2. What is the threshold for movement?  If I walk carrying something in the hand with the Fitbit and do not therefore move that arm while walking (my dog's leash, for example), does that mean the steps are not recorded?   

3. My work is largely done on a computer 5 days/week.  Those hours should have a BMR-level of "step equivalents" recorded -- I get that -- but not actual steps.  Does even hand movement (typing, moving a mouse, etc.) rack up steps?  I hope not!
