Limit sleep?

[mar383]

Is it possible to set up your sleep goals so that it only tells you you've reached your goal is you get BETWEEN two lengths of time? I have depression and some nights I don't sleep enough and other times I spend too much time sleeping. I would like to be able to set my sleep goals in a way that doesn't blindly reward me for sleeping for 10 hours because it's over my goal of 7.5.

@mar383 Hello and welcome!  Unfortunately, what you're asking is not possible.  You can only select one single time asleep goal (mine is 7 hours).  You'll be "rewarded" with a star on your sleep log for anything over your goal, but it's simply virtual and the "reward" basically has no meaning.  Fitbit is simply telling you that you slept a long time and exceeded your sleep goal. It's just a recording.

I'm not sure what is possible for you, but perhaps setting an alarm for 8 hours after bedtime so you don't oversleep might help?

Hi @mar383 

Exactly yes, provided that you first adapt to changing your sleeping and waking times.
For a depressive person, it would be better to sleep 8 hours 🙂

Good luck !

This is something I also would like to have. Also, it would be good to be able to rate the quality of sleep, since the feeling is very different from night to night. My fitbit gives me a very high point on sleeping since I sleep so many hours, but I still wake up some mornings still feeling tired.
