The Deep and REM page (Fitbit premium) shows 30 day average and Benchmark comparisons.
Time Asleep and Restoration and Sleep Score itself show no such comparison. It that because age is not a significant factor in these metrics (unlikely as teenagers can sleep for a l-o-n-g time)? A comparison in the three subcomponents would be very helpful in interpreting the results. eg a low restoration score compared with younger people is acceptable, whereas a low restoration score against your peer group is not.

I do know the benchmarks for deep and REM sleep are based off of scientific studies for different age groups. Since Restoration and Sleep Score are proprietary to Fitbit, there aren't (yet) external studies to yield these numbers. Because these features are so new, I would assume there's not enough data yet to make those types of comparisons even among the data Fitbit has collected so far.
@brads13, you may want to consider adding this as a formal request to the Feature Suggestion section of the site, which Fitbit actively monitors for new ideas.
