Score Sleep

[SunsetRunner]

Customer service mentioned there is no way to eliminate it at this time. Will check on other smartwatches if this is not discontinued soon. Health, more/less need for sleep, work time, etc. Should have an opt out option, even a toggle switch like they have for other items on the dashboard. Poor that this was added with no notice or feedback. Will check on other smartwatches if this is not discontinued soon. Night.

Agreed! I am horrified about being graded and ranked on something that is already a stressful source of angst (and ironically makes it harder to sleep worrying!). Make sleep score optional, it's not a competition.

The previous implementation already benchmarked you against women/men your age (when looking at sleep stages). Here is my suggestion: remove the sleep tile altogether in the app. This way you no longer see any angst generating grading/ranking/benchmarking info related to sleep.

Then, add a shortcut to https://www.fitbit.com/sleep. This way you will see time slept, including weekly averages, just like in the good old way system:

Previous implementation made this unnecessary benchmark buried at the very end of your sleep stats and it was easy to ignore it. I don't even remember when I saw it last time.

Not with this sleep score though, which is very much in-your-face. Now, if you don't want to be judged and graded, you have to remove the sleep tile altogether, making the device mush less useful. And you know what usually happens with useless devices? They usually end up in the trash can and never upgraded. And the manufacturers of useless devices usually go out of business.

Hi Dominique, thanks for replying. 

I could delete the sleep tab but it's a real pity as I enjoyed looking at my sleep stats on an hours and stages basis. I never looked at the benchmark tab and I rarely log onto a larger device/browser - I'm very much an app based human!  

Thanks for your suggestion though. I'm afraid I will probably just switch to another device once this one is due for renewal. Shame.

I also don't understand why they went to a score rather than the previous method.  The app should provide an enable/disable option so we can resort to the previous measure of hours slept vs. the goal.

I see time slept for the night but no weekly averages with your link.

You need to swipe up, from the part that looks like this:

Tried swiping up, down and all around, lol. Nothing.

 

[mmarks]

oh thank you so much!! That sleep score is meaningless and I prefer to know average hours for the week

[mmarks]

i had to swipe from the edge to get past that bar table ... The data is below it

[Dominique]

You can in fact get the weekly average of time asleep also from the app: select "Sleep", swipe on the graph ("sleep score") to the left until you reach the last (4th) graph ("Hours in Sleep Stages"). Then tap on that graph to maximize it. You will see average time asleep for the ongoing week. Swipe to the right to browse through previous weeks.

[pastimz]

Nope. Hours slept, sleep schedule and times awake is all I get.

[pastimz]

By golly, finally found sleep average. Not easy to get to though. I'll keep working on it.

[mmarks]

Where did you find it?

[jmth]

Agreed! I don't like the sleep score either. It makes me feel like I'm being judged. I have no problems with sleep but getting a bad score seems like a good way to start.

[RWF]

Thanks for this. I REALLY don’t like the score/grade (years of teaching perhaps?) ... seems ridiculous to make meaningful data so difficult to find now. Not a helpful change!!

@mmarks : you need to swipe left to the last (4th) graph, labeled "Hours in Sleep Stages":

Then, tap on that graph to maximise it. This will allow you to see the weekly average:

Swipe to the right and you can browse through weekly averages for previous weeks.

Thank you, better if it was on main page, but good to see it's there

Spoiler

When are Fitbit going to remove average sleep score and restore average time

or at least make it optional
