Low wake time, good Deep/REM; but restoration shows “disrupted” sleep

[RTJmom]

For reference last night I had 7hr 12 min sleep with 36 mins awake (47/50)

1hr 12 min deep, 2hr 4 min REM (21/25)

and a restoration score of 13/25 

RHR 51/ SHR 55 above 94% of the time.

sleep score 81

Here’s my dilemma, Fitbit says because my SHR was above my RHR for so long during night that that’s a “sign of disrupted” sleep. However, you can see by the other data that clearly I slept we

ll throughout the majority of the night with little interruption. I was not tossing and turning or wide awake unable to sleep causing my heart rate to increase.

I believe that FitBit needs to account for the differences that cause heart rate to increase during the night due to controlled  vs uncontrollable circumstances. They cannot praise getting great deep sleep and REM and then punish my restoration score because my heart rate went up during that time…something I can’t control. Whereas heart rate being elevated while restless, and awake or anxious or in light sleep is something I can control…deep breathing, muscle relaxation, meditation etc.

Is there any explanation for something like this? I often wake up feeling like I got a good night’s sleep, well rested and then am very disappointed to see a lower than expected sleep score. I wear my Fitbit on my non-dominant hand, snug but not too tight just above my wrist bone. Should I move it higher, wear it loser or tighter? It is Set to normal not sensitive. 
 Would love to hear any feedback on this!

Well, the only thing I can think of is one fitbit isn't 100 percent right. Mean if I wake up at 8 am and even after taking my meds and such if I lay still for an hour or more it counts me as sleeping.

The other thing if it doesn't happen to often I wouldn't worry about it. but if you are still worried have a chat with your family doctor. Also, it will even count just a small change in position as being awake for a minute or so. Also, what is your body temp like during the night. Sometimes you can be to cold and your heart rate increase to keep your body temp at  where it should be.
