Short, bad, sleep. High efficiency ?

So I work a long day, and I average between 4.5 - 5 hours of sleep a night. My sleep report tells me I have many restless portions throughout the night, yet my sleep efficiency is 97%. Just a slight bit confusing, thats all.

@Karatejoeri Welcome to Fitbit Community! It's possible to get 97% of sleep efficiency. Fitbit uses the following equation to calculate your sleep efficiency: time asleep / (total time in bed - time to fall asleep)

 

Check if you're getting more restless portions at the beginning. Because once you start sleep tracking, the time it takes for you to actually fall asleep will not be incorporated into this calculation. If you don't move all night it is possible to get 100% sleep efficiency even if it takes you 10 or more minutes to fall asleep. Let me know if you have another question. I'm more than willing to help. Smiley Happy
