How do I view sleep as a line graph instead of bar graph?

I'm new to fitbit but I have friends that have had one. When they show me their sleep on the app, it shows up as a wave on a line graph that shows sleep stages and when. Mine just shows up as a solid bar on a bar graph with 3 different colors. How do I get the line graph? I've looked all over online and can't figure it out.

That means you did not get sleep stages.  It happens occasionally to most people.

See Why don't I see sleep stages today?  for some possible reasons.

Also you didn't specify which trackers you have.  To get sleep stages, it must be one with heart rate readings.

Whoops! I have a Charge 3. That's weird. I guess I'm used to my Misfit, it would pick up sleep stages as long as I slept at least 30 minutes it could detect deep, light, awake. But it died so I wanted to try fitbit. I have insomnia so I usually cant sleep longer than 4 hours at a time. Does this mean that maybe fitbit might not work for me for sleep stage readings?

3 hours is what is required for detecting sleep stages, i.e. a 2.5 hour nap would not get sleep stages.  But brief waking periods do not prevent sleep stages.  I don't know how long of a period of wakefulness it would take to prevent stages.

I assume you also are not using 'Begin Sleep Now', which can prevent sleep stages.

It fixed itself. It is showing now. That is really odd. 

Thank you!
