Recommended vs. actual sleep

If recommended sleep time is seven hours, does the unconscious 'awake' time tracked by FitBit count against that?  If I look at the benchmarks in the FitBit app, my awake time is within normal ranges; however, that means I would have to be in bed over eight hours to get seven hours of sleep.  Perhaps the recommended ranges take into account the intermittent awake times?

Hi @jimsimpson.

 

The awake time is accounted for by subtracting it from the overall sleep time. So 8 hours asleep with 1 hour of awake time would be 7 hours of net sleep.
