Fitbit quits tracking for the night after I've been awake too long....

[A1234321]

I have trouble staying asleep... So often, just like last night, I wake up to go to the washroom half-way through... I spend a long time (like 1+hrs rolling around) after because it takes a while to fall back asleep...But it never resumes tracking. It just says I slept 4 hrs instead of the 8.5 I was there (which should have yielded ~6.5-7 hrs actual sleep.

I have a similar issue too. If I wake up halfway and spend too much time awake before going back to sleep, the other half of my sleep is not counted as that day's sleep. So it would say I had 4 hours of sleep that day, 45 mins of awake time, and an additional 3 hours of sleep the next day. 

Is there a way to make Fitbit count the full 7 hours toward that nights' sleep time?

If anyone knows the answer, please let us know. Like a "merge sleep" option, or something. Or go very "insensitive", or like count sleep within a certain block of time as one.

I manually start and stop my sleep because my FitBit doesn't start automatically. I have to click the I am awake button to stop my morning tracking. I would assume it would continue to monitor when you were up until you marked you were awake.

Oh? How do I do that exactly? I just check the watch and it just shows the time and everything; I don't see anywhere to select that. Is it in the phone app instead?

I start my sleep log on my phone. In the sleep section in the app I have a plus sign in the right upper corner that brings up the "sleep now" button,  Once I click that, the screen changes to "I'm awake". I go to sleep and in the morning i click that. It is a lot of work for something that should happen automatically but I want the info that is the only way it comes up for me.
