I have been using my Charge2 off and on for 2-3 years primarily for sleep tracking.  I stop using it when I get frustrated with the results.... then end up trying again down the road hoping maybe the software has changed or I can figure a way for it to work for my situation.  If it matters, I am in the first month of a 90 day Premium trial.

 

The main issue is that I sleep 2-3 times during a 24 hour period starting anywhere from 3pm to 4 am. The software will combine sleep periods sometimes but I don't see any pattern. Sometimes it does...some times it doesn't.

 

From browsing the sleep topics it seems that there is a way to make manual adjustments but before I start doing that every day I'd like to understand how the software works in hopes that I don't have to every day.

 

Should I set my Go To Bed and Wake Up times in a certain way?  Any other suggestions?

Hello @klsdad, welcome to the community forums! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! 😁

 

There are several steps you can take to increase your chances for getting great sleep results. The National Sleep Foundation suggests sticking to a sleep schedule, avoiding naps in the afternoon, practicing a relaxing bedtime routine, and exercising daily among other recommendations.

 

Additionally, Fitbit offers several tools to help you sleep better. You can set a sleep schedule in the Fitbit app to help you maintain a more consistent pattern of sleep. You can also learn about your sleep habits through sleep insights and set a bedtime reminder in the Fitbit app to help you wind down for sleep each night. For more information, see How do I track my sleep with my Fitbit device?

 

For more information on sleep stages, see our blog posts REM, Light, Deep: How Much of Each Stage of Sleep Are You Getting? and Your Heart Rate Is the Key to Smarter Sleep Stages. Here’s Why. For additional sleep information including tips for feeling rested, visit the Fitbit blog.

 

Let's see if other users can share their experiences and any other insights or suggestions 😊

 

Hope this helps!
