Last night was the first time I used my new Charge HR and figured it was a good test of a bad night of sleep for me. I was pretty restless, I thought, and I know I was up for a couple of hours because I gave up and started watching Netflix during the wee hours. But I guess I'm pretty still watching a video, so that awake time wasn't captured and my Charge reported a pretty good night, supposedly 8 hours of sleep.
Anyone else encounter this? Any suggestions for the Charge picking up my actual awakeness, even if I'm not a big mover?
I thought the HR would of knew your awake from your heart rate reading. Generally when your asleep your heart rate is lower than your resting awake state.

So it turns out that it needed about 24 hours to figure me out. The first time I looked it said I had 8 solid hours of sleep. Now it's showing the real amount, about 4.5 hours.
So, you are probably right, that it goes by heart rate. Cool! I didn't want to fake figget just to let it know I was awake. The whole point is getting back to sleep.
Note that I changed the setting to "sensitive". So it's also possible that that gave a more accurate reading too.
