Interrupted sleep - 2 part sleeping

Particularly when I am very tired, I will fall asleep on my recliner with a cat on top of me, earlier than my start time.  If I am hard off, my partner will leave me there. I'll wake up in the early hours of the morning - 3am - 4am - and then I'll get up for a few minutes, do the before bed things, then go to bed, where I will sleep for another 3 or 4 hours until my usual waking time.

I'd like like to see these joined into one night for total sleep purposes, preferably automatically, but if not manually.  Is there anything now I can do?

You can manually edit them together, though not sure about effect on sleep stages.  I often do this, but I don't usually get sleep stages anyway.  Note the beginning time of first sleep section, then delete it; then open 2nd sleep section, edit it to change beginning time to when 1st section began and save it; then it will show as one whole sleep with awake break when you got up; at least does that for me.

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

I just got up turned on the internet and read here: High levels of stress can disrupt sleep, including deep sleep. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation or yoga can help in this case. Finally, watch your caffeine and alcohol intake, especially in the hours leading up to bedtime, as they can interfere with deep sleep.
